Irish Poker Open Final Goes Live With Hole Cards TodaySole Survivor Leads Irish Poker Open Main Event Final Nine At End Of Day 3 |
|
After three days of battles between some of the biggest names in poker, the PaddyPowerPoker.com Irish Open found its final table of nine and they will fight for the €420,000 top prize and the Terry Rogers memorial trophy today from 2 p.m. (local time). The finalists will be sequestered with no access to any form of communication as the live stream airs all the action with hole cards here at CardPlayer.com.
Leading the pack is Ian Simpson, one of two Sole Survivors fighting for the €100,000 package on top of at least €23,000 in main event prize money. Experiencing the deepest run of his poker career, Simpson has just over 2 million in chips, and is followed very closely by fellow Brit David “Dixie” Dean. The other player sparring with Simpson to be the last PaddyPowerPoker.com qualifier is Philip Magennis from County Down in Northern Ireland.
Day 3 saw an array of big names hitting the rail from the 49 players who started the day including Freddy Deeb, Julian Gardner, end of day 2 chip leader Manig Loeser, and Phil Hellmuth. Unfortunate bubble boy Jim O’Callaghan hit the rail when his A-9 was beaten by David Dean and his A-10, receiving €17,850 for 10th place.
Included in the final nine is Irishman Andy Black who is on the hunt for the prestigious title, as is European Poker Tour Snowfest runner-up Kevin Vandersmissen, and Samuel Chartier who has more than $1.6 million in lifetime winnings.
Here are the final table chip counts:
Seat 1: Ian Simpson 2,007,000
Seat 2: David “Dixie” Dean 1,986,000
Seat 3: Thomas Beer 1,319,000
