Railers Getting Rowdy

No matter who's winning, it now looks like the same loud hard core of fans is going to shout his name. The later it gets during the Irish Open, the more excitable the crowd, and this year is no exception. They roared when Kara Scott took the blinds with a button raise, and they went crazy when Niall Smyth bet William Kassouf off the {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {10-Spades} board on the river and then showed {10-Clubs} {2-Spades}.

They were also just now hollering "Brad! Brad!" when Bradley Verburg raised preflop and then bet 55,000 on the flop and 80,000 on the turn at William Kassouf -- getting a fold when the board read {K-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades} {A-Hearts}.

The pace has slowed a lot lately, however: can they keep it up until a final table is reached?
