Fintan Gavin knocked himself out of the EPT Prague halfway through Day 2 apparently attempting to catch an early flight home. He lost his chips but missed his flight and was last heard of stuck in a hotel near Charles de Gaulle Airport.
Dermot Blaine, fresh from running deep at the IPC Galway is lying 18th of the 53 players remaining on Day 3.
We know Dermot has plenty of discipline, he laid down a poker of Jacks (facing a possible straight flush) to a big reraise in a cash game at the 4 Aces last week, so let's hope he mixes that with some good running and brings back a sackfull of euros. The country needs the money.
