George Stoddart, Albert Alexander and Anthony O'Reilly won tickets for UKIPT Galway in the Monday night satellite.
Albert was all-in on the final table with A8 against Kevin Roche's AK and had actually taken a seat in the cash game when he was called back to see an 8 on the flop.
George had come into town to deliver Manus's weekly meat ration, quite a job, and decided to drop into the club. He put €10 in a video poker machine, hit a straight flush and cashed in for €100. Entry for the satellite won, George eased into the final three. It'll make for a great story if he cashes in the big one.
