Get in there Big C! - plus Caption Competition!
Wow, I don’t know was anyone following Ciaran’s progress in the Poker Million heat yesterday, but it was nail-biting stuff for us back in the office! He was chip leader for the entire heat, knocking Jennifer Tilly out early on, but there were still some scary moments and cards to hit and miss aplenty! He’ll have to wait until December for the semi-finals (and hopefully final), but is now guaranteed a payday and another day under the Sky studio lights over in London. Hopefully a bunch of us can be there to cheer him on in person - everyone deserves a loud band of supporters chanting their name
On to this week’s caption competition, where we go all the way back to the Irish Open final table in Spring 2006:

Jon Wong (left) and Ian Woodley came 4th and 2nd respectively in the €3,000 Irish Open Main Event in 2006; it was a remarkable result for Wong, as he had come 4th in one of the Irish Open side events a few days previously for a €11k score! Anyhow, there a few $6 Irish Winter Festival satellite tokens up for grabs as usual, the best few captions will take ‘em. Enter as many times as you like and I’ll choose the winners next week.
Remember, the Irish Winter Festival feeders are running every day and the $215 Super Satellite is on Sunday evening - last Sunday three more players booked their seats at the Irish Masters in October. The cash table action should be thick and fast from today onwards - you might even see Big C sitting at green PPP tables over the weekend, keep an eye out!
Good luck on the tables, folks

Wong-I thought you were Ian Woosnam and I was going to get a free lesson.
Woodley-Son, you just got a lesson, a lesson in cards.

Hi rebel, it should have been credited to your account already - if you log into the poker software, go to My Poker - Paddy Points to see all the tokens you have. Then you can find the appropriate game and play!
