Tuesday night proved to be a bit of a benefit night for Mary Keary. She felt things might be going well when she broke Donal MacAonghusa's AA with QJ early on in the €40 Freezeout. During the break, Mary hit AA herself on theTexas Hold'em Table Game, she had €10 on the Bonus Bet meaning a €300 payout.
Back in the tournament Mary ended up with very low chips when down to the last three with Carl Stephens and Mike Ryan. 5 times all-in and called later, every time going in ahead and staying ahead, and Mary was collecting first prize of €300 plus the €150 Mid-Month Madness ticket added by the Eglinton.
Wednesday's €100 Freezeout almost provided back-to-back victories for Mary but Ronan Heffernan (the one without the glasses) beat her in the Heads Up to take the €950 first prize. Still €530 for second will keep Mary in cappuccinos for a couple of weeks.
