And That's A Wrap!
There's still three cash tables on to go here in the Majestic, but my job is done! Thanks to everyone who followed the updates and hopefully I'll see you all in Killarney! Now... where are those Bodog Girls!!!
Day Three Summary
Bodog Waterford Open Concludes.
Today saw the wrap up of the Bodog Waterford Open, Bodog's first of many sponsored events in Europe! There were three events to follow today, the 3 day €500 main event, a 2 day €250 side event and a one day €100 event which drew a big local crowd.
Play in the main event started at 2:30pm, with the overnight chip leader Mick G looking set to continue dominating. Early in the day he made a gigantic preflop call that almost made his opponent Jude Duffy puke all over the place as he could only watch as all his chips were eventually pushed in Mick G's direction! Mick's fairytale weekend came to an end when he ran his pocket kings into the brilliantly played quads of Sean Prenderville.
Anthony Lynch, one of the "young guns" to watch out for found it difficult to make an impact on the final table having his raises constantly reraised. He was eliminated in 8th place when his two-pair came up short against Paul Quinns' flopped straight! Paul's luck took a turn for the worse when he refused to accept a deal when there were 3 players remaining and on the very next hand lost his stack to Sean Prenderville!
Sean Prenderville eventually came out on top of Willie Fitzpatrick in a brief heads up match that saw Willie take a horrible beat when Sean caught a miracle card on the river to secure the title... and the Waterford Crystal!
In the side events, Emmet Gough took down the €250 event after being the chipleader from the very beginning! Galway man, Derek Cosgrove, overcame tough local opposition to win the €100 event which at times overshadowed the Main Event final table thanks to some colourful characters who celebrated even when they lost a pot!
It's been a enjoyable few days which has seen some great poker, and some shocking poker! Needless to say, the reporting team are knackered and they're only wish is to be able to spend some quality time with the Bodog girls. If only they were still here...

No Deal in €100 Event
After much discussion, the players have decided to split the €5k left in the prizepool 3-ways, 1.5k, 1.5k, 1.5k with them playing out for the last €500. Shortstack Adam Duggan was reluctant to accept the deal

Seans Sevens Suck Out!
Sean Prenderville takes down the Bodog Waterford Open after calling Willie Fitzpatricks all-in preflop. Sean turns over 77 and Willie TT. A sick seven on the river see's Willie wave goodbye to the chance of taking home the Waterford Crystal!
The €100 event!
The rail is looking a bit bare around the final table of the main event and for those wondering why, it's because the final table for the €100 event is taking place next to us. It's attracted a colourful array of personalities from the locality. Once this Main Event is sewn up, I'll head over and try see what's the big deal!
Even Stevens
Willie just moves all-in and is called by Sean who doesn't believe him with a pair of fours. Willie turns over T9 for middle pair and now they are both within 100k of each other with Sean still in the lead!
Deal done!
A deal has just been done between Willie Fitzpatrick and Sean Prenderville with Sean taking 18k and Willie taking 14k. They are currently playing for the trophy!
Paul Quinn Gone!
Paul Quinn is eliminated in 3rd place having the very prior hand declined to do a three way split! He raises with 44 and Sean Prenderville goes all-in. Paul dwells up and calls with 44. Sean throws over JJ which holds!
Eddie Walsh Gone
Eddie Walsh has just been knocked out when his AQ couldn't catch up with Paul Quinn's 88
