Betfair Poker Live Dublin

Klup already dropped untold in a cash game last night setting the tone for his weekend!

At 3pm we have a freroll for all Betfair qualifiers to the Costa Brava Betfair live event with 2 seats on offer.  This will be a back to front tournament with the river dealt first, then the turn and finally the 3 card flop.  Will certainly be interesting and should also be entertaing to watch a certain Greek trying to play 72 in this.

6pm there is a satellite to tomorrows main event with two seats guarranteed and this also a freeroll.

When all the Live seats have been given away we will decamp to a local nightclub for one of the legendary Betfair Live Parties!

The main cardroom at The Fitzwilliam Casino.

The freeroll has kicked off with only 23 runners playing for two Costa Brava Live packages.

There is also a 50 euro free sportsbet bounty on each of the 3 tables.

Value, value value!!!

A few familiar faces.....



Big mark having ther joy of sitting next to the lovely Fran but like all things in life he has equalled up his karma by having Klup on the other side!

The guy on Klups left is already fed up with the noise and its only been 15 minutes!

Spackers sat next two TwoDogs Barker on table 1.

Mr Barker is out already, got a bit confused by the rules so just chucked them in... Bless.

The Betfair London Live winner Arttu shows off the lovely stripey shirt he bought with the winnings!

Arttu is on table 2 with Klup, Fran and Big Mark on table 2

Alen Mclean doubles up when his KK holds up against QQ!!

The rest of table 1 with Alen hidden away behind the dealer.

Klup does in most his chips to fran when he calls her shove pre with the monster that is T2 sooooted.

Miraculously he was actually ahead as Fran had 65 sooooted.

The river and turn brought nothing but the flop brought a 5 to give Fran the hand and the words of Klup still echoing around the table 'I knew I was ahead'.  we allknew he is just a donk! [;)]

The Betfair Bountys are taking the game very seriously as they have a last longest bet between them.

Fran is now in pole position after plundering the donkmasters stack!

And as expected Klup fails miserably when his 89 fails to hold up against AK.

Big Mark doubles up when his 86 outdraws 99 on a Q6 river and turn but the flop brings a 6!

We have just had the 1st break.

Due to the objections of some players the game will now revert to normal Holdem.

Jacob Irsberg takes down the first Betfair Bounty and wins himself a 50 euro sports bet.

The 3rd table was then broken and we are now down to two tables.

KLUP is legend!! His exit from the freeroll results in him picking up £400 at the roulette table!

2dogsbarker, has the BlackJack dealer in tears!!

Like the two irish rainbow lads, Klup & 2dogs are like William Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzwilliam!!

Wlodzimierz Cymbalko takes Fran out of the tournament and is the 2nd player to win himself a 50 Euro sports bet.

One bounty still up for grabs + the 2 Costa Brava packages.

Guess who got forum fraped? 

Down to 12 left now, when it makes the final table I will try and egt all of the names of the remaining players.

Spackers shoves his 93os from the small blind and the big blind calls with QT sooooted and knocks him out.

11 players left and Big Mark the only representative the forum still has.

The last bounty is still floating about.

Down to eight players and after a small break the final table is about to resume..

Anthony Fox
Arttu Pitkakangas
Jacob Irsberg
Juho Launonen
Marios Papazois
MARK HEATHFIELD
Wlodzimierz Cymbalko
Betfair Bounty

I have now been informed that there is a $120 Betfair Live satellite seat for 2nd to 6th and with the Betfair Bounty not eligible for a prize it is effectively now on the bubble.

The bad news is that Big Mark is the short stack!

Big Mark doubles up SB v Button AA v KK and now has 6k

And then next hand shoves from the button into the Bountys BB who snap calls with AQ sooooted and BigMark turns over 68 but with a 6 and an 8 coming on the board he doubles up again  and cripples the bounty.

Next hand Bigmark shoves again to isolate the Bounty but the BB calls with KK and Bigmark shows AJ and flops an ACE snd now looks like the chip leader.

The Bounty was all in for 900 chips but nailed a straight to saty alive.

Marios Papazois is the last player to be eliminated without a prize.

Attaboy Mark, go go go. He deserves some luck after being ousted in Tallinn with AA after only 5 hands. Keep the updates coming HF and BPRMngr

Anthony Fox goes out 5th after shoving with 22 and getting called by Juho's 88 and when no 2 came on the board it was home time.

good luck Mark take it down [:D]

Wlodzimierz Cymbalko goes out in 4th when he calls Big Marks shove holding JJ, BigMark turns over KQ and spikes a King on the Betfair river [;)].  Fixed this live poker lark!

Big Mark is chip leader again but is up against the two Finns Arttu and Juho who dont seem to play a lot of hands against each other! [;)]

As I suspected, the live game is r i gged as I suspected with some of those showdowns, give me online anyday.

Good luck all, decent bit of value involved.

Juho calls Arttu's shove and turns over AQ, Arttu shows A2 but a 2 on the turn shatters Juho's dreams and he goes out 3rd leaving BigMark and Arttu as the Costa Brava package winners. 

Juho and Arttu



BigMark was thinking positive.

So with nothing left to play for both players go all in next hand and the monsters 42 and 32 clash with a 4 on the flop ending the contest in Arttu's favour.

Congratulations to Mark, good luck to all in the main event. When do the updates start?
