Aisling Ainsworth has shown she clearly is Judes better half. Having arrived late to the tournament she had been blinded down to under 7000 in chips and there were already 29 players, from the massive 111 runner field, eliminated. Mrs J.Thaddeus got to a flyer and had trebled up in her first level of play and never looked back.
Jude had a good run in the tournament himself, even try to take out Aisling a couple of times but in the end 14th was the best he could manage and he was relegated to the rail to lead Aislings cheering section. Richard Fitzgerald was the player to suffer most at the hands of lady luck, having his Aces cracked twice by Aisling, first with 85 and then with 88 to be knocked out in 4th place.
With over a million chips in play the heads up against Chris Dowling lasted over an hour. Chris eventually made a big all-in move with 66 and ran straight into KK. No 6 came and another title is going back to Claregalway.
