One of the bubble clingers is sent home. »

We’re in the money!

The bubble has just burst here at the 2008 paddypowerpoker.com Irish Poker Open. The unfortunate bubble boy was Canadian Chris Peddigrew. He was all in for his 10,400 chip stack with

2>C 2>S

against his opponent’s

K>S J>H

Peddigrew lost the race on a board of:

K>C A>H 7>C 9>S 7>S

…and goes out in 73rd place, but takes the news in good spirits, smiling all the way to the end. Every player in the room will now earn at least €4500, all the way up to the €801,400 first prize.
