Its a Done Deal

Martin and Ger shake on the deal.

 Big respect to Martin Lynch who crushed the final table in the Manor inn last night . Martin chopped the pot when it went to heads up with Ger Fitzsimons with a chip lead of 5 to 1 at least.
The best complement I can give to Martin is when everyone is buying in the first thing they ask is where is Martin sitting ?
Martin has a style of play thats wild and hard to read and it pays off as most times he can build a large stack early in the game but at times he fails to change his game to keep and develop that stack but that's what makes Martin so dangerous.
There was 21 players in the Manor Inn last Thursday 1/11/12 with some great play few players were knocked out early on with the final table starting late at 11:30.
There were no real big stacks and only a couple of short stacks so it was anyone's game to win.
The League leader Tony went out in 10th resulting in the ''Best Player in Swords'' going top of the league with a 6th place finish.
Derek went out on the money bubble in 5th but wins 4 free pints for his poker of 2s for the best hand. Another strong finish by Kevin in the money in 4th. Jamie made some great lay downs to get 3rd ,in particular one with JJ four handed Ger moved all in for 8000 Jamie called but then Martin moved all in, Jamie tanked for a while then folded what was the best hand , Ger had 55 martin had A 10 the flop was 9 A 9 Martin takes the lead an 8 on the turn and a magic 5 on the river keeps Ger in it and Jamies fold is good. The blinds finally got Jamie all in and Martin gets him in the end. Then the deal is done and Mick is happy to get everyone out and on their way home.

Final table 

Hand of the day

A warning to everyone to pay attention to whats going on at your table , down  to 2 tables and Damo is short with 8000 with the blinds 1000/2000 its folded around to Tony in the small blind who folds and then Karl in the big blind mucks his hand to claim the pot but he didnt see Damo's all in and has to give up the pot showing the mucked KK , Damo shows 88.
