Dave Callaghan is the first IOC casualty. On a board of j 7 2 3 with 2 clubs Zeik bet 2k and Dave called along with Shane Keary. The came the 9 of clubs and it went check check to Dave who bet 3100, Shane folded and Zeik moved raised him all in and after Dave called showed the nut flush
Marty Smyth has just lost his first 10k stack to Eamonn O'Nuallian. They got it al in on a J 3 4 rainbow flop, Marty had 5678 and Eamonn had a set of jack. A 7 on the turn gave Marty the straight but the 4 on the river fill Eamonn house
Dave Callaghan has gotten himself into trouble with the second nut straight against Shane Kearys nut straight. Dave is down to around 12k total
Roy Brindley has just hit the chip lead after taking down a massive pot. He now has 40K and has both of his 10k rebuy still in the bag
Everyone is just back from the dinner break and with the pots being kept small our chip leader is Noel Hayes with 15500 and his 2 rebuy chips intact.
Just into Level 2 in the IOC main Event and we currently have 21 player sitting down. With the blinds only 25/50 the players are just feeling each other out. John O'Shea was the only player to take the full 30K at the start of the tournament.
