Ok the hotel is not as close to the casino as I first thought, I decided to try running it but failed miserably, after two minutes I was close to a heart attack so I got a cab the rest of the way.

There was 143 players when I left, the Irish have had mixed fortunes so far - Donnacha O’Dea busted out early on and went back to the hotel for an early bath (his words not mine), Irish Open winner Marty Smyth is sitting on 12k, Liam Flood is motoring alone after his double up early on - at a glance he must have 20k-25k.

Craic Commandos

Andrew Dwyer is out after fours hours of dead cards, his best hand was KQ suited but folded after 2 all ins, Nic filled you in on his exit hand and that sumed up his luck all day. On the other hand Rory Curtis is of to a flyer after a nice double up he is now sitting on 19k, to be honest he looks like a pro at the table - he is looks comfortable and is not afraid to get stuck in a play some hands. Let’s hope it continues!

My first thoughts of the EPT are mixed you would not know it was the EPT bar a few posters on the wall which I thought was strange but on the other hand the number of big name players here is great - Daniel Negreanu is floating around, Chris Moneymaker is falling asleep at his table, The Devilfish is sipping a whiskey like the Mac Daddy and Liam Floods tie is colourful to say the least.

Hopefully by the time I get back Rory will have trebled up.
