Luck of the Irish

It's difficult to see from our current viewpoint, but it appeared as though Fintan Gavin raised to 65,000, Beniamino Speroni came over the top and Gavin called all in, most likely already committed to the pot.

With a paltry {J-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Gavin was in need of divine assistance against Speroni's {A-?}{Q-?}, but he'd obviously said his prayers and taken his vitamins as the board came a {6-?}{8-?}{4-?}{J-?}{2-?} to keep the Irishman alive.

"Luck of the Irish," as a fellow blogger said.
