A Blogger's Nightmare

In some ways, the Irish Open is a blogger's nightmare as they pool everyone together in one starting day, meaning your intrepid, but perhaps not-as-physically-fit-as-they-should-be live update team have a sea of tables to slither and slide their way through.

This makes catching a big early exit rather tricky, and you end up picking up various specs of information that could perhaps be combined to form an actual hand. On my travels I saw Chris Moorman punch the air after raising the small blind to pick up his first hand of the day, Barny Boatman screaming, "I promise I won't slowplay pocket kings again," and Michael Greco picking up a small pot with continuation bet on the flop. Snippets, but no real stack versus stack hand. The search continues.
