Padraig Parkinson Off to the Bar
Partypoker Ambassador Padraig Parkinson is off to the bar after being eliminated by David Fitzgerald. Players are allowed to re-enter once per opening flight, however, Parkinson stacked off earlier in the tournament and became the first player not allowed to enter back into the Day 1a field.
Fitzgerald checked the action on the 
board before Parkinson, who was short on chips, jammed all in. Fitzgerald quickly called and turned over 
for the nut flush while Parkinson had 
for a straight.
After the hand was over, the dealer miscounted Parkinson's stack thinking the 25-denominated chips were actually 1,000-denominated chips. She shared with Parkinson who was getting up from the table that he shouldn't leave yet since he still had chips. She quickly corrected herself.
Joking around, Parkinson asked the dealer while holding his beer, "Are you taking a piss?"
The duo joked around further before Parkinson departed from the tournament area. Parkinson will likely be back tomorrow in hopes of making it to Day 2 and also plans to play in the €120 Charity Event, a tournament he helped organize that will benefit the homeless.
