Irish Poker Open Day 1
Sunday, April 08, 2007
It started with a record field of 701, but by the end of day one, the Irish Poker Open is down to 250 players remaining.The British did well, with two going into day 2 with big chip stacks. Roland De Wolfe built his stack up to 100,000 and Paul Gourley won a big 3 way hand with pocket aces late in the day to tally 107,400 and the chip lead.
Big names Antonio Esfandiari and Jennifer Tilly were early busts, as were bracelet winner Pras Banzi and EPT champ Andreas Hoivold.
WPT host Mike Sexton accumulated the lions share of the chips at his very tough table and is looking good going into day 2.
Andy Black was at a table with fellow Irish-born pro Phil Laak and the table talk was worth paying for admission. Another big table later saw Dan Harrington, Ram Vaswani and Paidrag Parkinson matched up, all of whom resume play together on Day 2.
Check back for Day 2 results soon.
