Cheering on Dave,Darren, & Stu O. for the win gl guys.

Things at a critical point in the Home Ints.

We will definitely have an all Ireland final, but there is a single point separating England B and Wales A, with a place in the Bronze medal playoff against England A at stake.

England B currently have that point in hand and both countries have 1 player left.  James Barber (England) and Darren Underhill (Wales).  James is extremely short and probably all in next hand...

Come on my son!

We had a lot of drama over the past 30 minutes, but with just two players still playing in the final NLHE phase, I can confirm that Ireland A will play Ireland B for Gold & Silver, while England A will play.....England B for the Bronze.

James Barber managed to grind out a positional win on Darren Underhill to take the points required to send England B into the medal playoff.

All 8 heads up medal matches will start simultaneously shortly.  We"ll keep you updated.

[Des]

The Bronze medal playoff pairings are as follows:-

England A first.

Joe Carr-Hill versus Dann Williams
Tod Wood versus Stuart Ward
Adam Sharples versus Paul Davis
Carl Pilgrim versus James Barber

[gunnerdamo]

Well done both Irish teams, amazing stuff lads.

[Des]

Bad news for Dave Howard on the final table of the Six Max as he exits in seventh place.  Our focus has been on the key hands in the Home Internationals, so we haven"t got hand details.

[Des]

The Irish teams are both discussing "how" to decide who will play who in the heads up final.  This could take thirty years plus....

[Des]

The Gold medal playoff is as follows:-

Ireland A first.

Brian Frew versus John Murray

Fergus Dunne versus Stephen Byrne

Kevin O"Hanlon versus Brendan Byrne

Ger Smyth versus Frank Bailie
