Donnacha O'Dea Busted

[user22113]

On a board which read {7-Hearts}

The Don check-raised his opponent who then put the Irish man all in. O'Dea immediately called.

{Q-Clubs}

for O'Dea

and a straight flush draw for his opponent.

{J-Hearts}

on the river sent O'Dea packing.

Jani Vilmunen loses 12K pot

[user22113]

On a board which read {Q-Diamonds}

he made a pot sized bet of 4,000 and his opponent took two minutes to call.

Vilmunen showed {Q-Spades}

which he believed was good but was up against {Q-Spades}

and found himself out-kicked.

Players are on a break and we have lost 7 from our original 177 day 1A starters and have an average stack of 10,500. Liam Flood and Mark Vos are our early leaders both on or around the 25,000 mark. Mark Vos has just been moved to the left of Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott so we can expect some fireworks when the players resume.

Katja Thater Busted

[user22113]

She reraised a player pre-flop with {A-Clubs}

and was called. All the chips flew in on a {A-Diamonds}

flop and she found herself drawing to three outs against {A-Spades}

which she didn't hit.

Some More Early Matchups

[user22113]

Roy Brindley is definitely not out. He just decided not to play a hand for most of the first level. He has taken a seat on Andreas Hoivold's table.

Also, 2006 London champion Victoria Coren has been drawn two to the left of Barny Boatman.

Level: 2

Blinds: 50/100

Ante: 0

Also....

[user22113]

...Irish Open champion Marty Smyth has appeared two to the right of Johnny Lodden. Some more Irish players -- Donnacha O'Dea, Sylvester Geoghan, and Eoghan Lyons -- have also made the trip across the water. Roy Brindley, however, could possibly have been an early casualty as he appears on the Day 1A starting list but is currently watching the action from the rail.

Level: 1

Blinds: 25/50

Ante: 0
