Here we go,

its 6 am vegas time and i play in the main event in 6 hours time , not awake cause im nervous im just after a 19 hour sleep following a mega piss up. feeling very good and looking forward to the main event.

Anyway the trip so far. We were like babies tuesday nght and couldnt sleep so myself derek and john went to the casino at 1.30 am and played cards before we headed to shannon at 5.30. myself and derek won a nice bit if cash and john lost a bit.

met eoghan lyons at shannon and we headed off on our journys. played one game on the flight over 3 handed 1500 in chips each and i was down to a 25 chip and came back and won it with quality suckouts !!!!!!!!!! i'll take that luck all week.

when we got to vegas we played the caesers palace tourny basically a one rebuy but in effect a 22o freeze out . I was knocked out early when my kk couldnt stand up against q 10 but the good news is eoghan went on to split it and win 8k of which i had 5%. well done eoghan and keep it going in the main event.

next night myself derk and john tried the super staellite. No luck there were 520 runners (52 tickets) and I finished about 130th I had aq and was all in for a bout 6k got called by a lad with roughly the same stack who had a 7 and he hit the seven . anyway thats the way it goes. was happy the way i played derek and john were gone a bit earlier john ran his kk into aa and derek with 99 on a flop of 678 went all in and got called by jq!!!!!! he was fairly short stacked but not so much to get called by that shite.


anyway it all begins for me in six hours and really looking forward to it. i will update the blog later when hopefully i will still be in

Another Galway Runner

Shane Keary has qualified for the main event through Paddy Power. He is travelling out on the 26th and will be playing on the Sunday. I will keep his progress as well as the rest of us updated on the blog nightly once we get there.

Oh and I cashed yipee!!!. Played the westwood on wednesday with 47 runners. Decided after my messing for the last few weeks I would give this one a real bash. Was very happy with the way I played and I made some very good calls and also good plays. Eventually finished 2nd for €800 which wasnt too bad. Only 5 days to go now cant wait.

Getting Ready for Vegas

Its now only a week and a half before we head of to vegas so beginning to try get the head right so Im in top shape when we arrive. I havent been playing much poker the last few weeks and have had no cahses in live tournys (tbh not even near a cash) Im not too worried though as I know Im not concentrating and this will have changed when we arrive in Vegas.

Travelling with me will be Derek Murray and John Cullinane. I will use the blog to update on how both myself and the other two lads are gtting on. In addition to this I would recommend everyone use antesup.com to track the irish lads.

Derek is definetely playing in the main event. I rate him very highly and feel he is going to go very well in Vegas. He has cashed in a number of the larger Irish Tournys like the 1k boyles in Jan but he has never and I mean never got a stack early on in a tournament. When he does he is going to be very dangereous.

John is going to try a couple of satallites to get into the main event and hopefully these will prove sucessful. If there are any other late qualifiers from Galway I will use the blog to update on their progress.

I am also if anyone is interested going to sell a small portion of myself basically $100 buys 1%. If any one is interested email me.

The blog will become more active once we arrive on the 26th so tune back then
