Smyth For the Win! 3 years ago

Roland De Wolfe pushes all-in for the dregs of his stack and Marty Smyth makes the call, turning up Kh 9h to De Wolfe's Th 3h. The board comes Ah 8s 6h 8d 2h and both players make a flush, but Smyth has the better one and he scoops the last of De Wolfe's chips, eliminating The Sheep to take down the 2007 Irish Poker Open!

For his win, Smyth takes home EC 650,000, while De Wolfe will receive EC 325,000 for his second-place finish. Congratulations to both players!

Another Blow for Smyth 3 years ago

The blinds are raised to the downpayment on a studio apartment in Manhattan, and on the first hand Marty Smyth and Roland De Wolfe get all the money in with Qc Jd for Ireland (Smyth) and Jc 4d for England (De Wolfe). The board comes 9h 7h 6s As 6h and Marty Smyth has crippled Roland De Wolfe, who is left with under $1 million with $7 million in play.

De Wolfe Doubles 3 years ago

Marty Smyth glances at his cards and moves all-in from the button, and Roland De Wolfe immediately calls. Both players turn up ace-eight, but Smyth is off-suit and De Wolfe has two hearts. The flop comes Qc 6d 3h, but the 6h on the turn makes things mighty interesting. The river is the Qh and Roland De Wolfe hits runner-runner on a freeroll to double through Marty Smyth.

Smyth Doubles Through De Wolfe in Massive Pot 3 years ago

Roland De Wolfe raises to $700,000 and Marty Smyth moves all-in for another $3,875,000. De Wolfe makes the call and shows 3h 3d to Smyth's 2d 2s, so we're crabs versus ducks headed to the flop with De Wolfe poised to take down the tournament. The flop comes 8h 6s 6h, and then the turn brings a massive roar from the pro-Irish crowd, bringing the 2h to give Smyth a set. The river is the Ad and Marty Smyth has doubled through Roland De Wolfe, crippling the latter and giving the former a stranglehold on this tournament.

Blinds Up, Cards Down 3 years ago

The blinds have been raised again as the tournament organizers strive to inject a little life into the final table. A few hands before the re-up, Marty Smyth limped-in and Roland De Wolfe raised to $500,000. Smyth thought about making the push but eventually folded A4o. De Wolfe showed A10o and raked the pot as the crowd urged them both to move all-in.

Tha Slowness 3 years ago

We've played about forty hands of heads-up with very little action to report. Marty Smyth has made up his $1 million disadvantage and the stacks are about even, but flops are a rarity and neither player seems willing to put too much of his stack on the line just yet.

Mizzi Murdered 3 years ago

Sorel Mizzi moves all-in for the last of his stack and both of his opponents make the call. The flop comes As Ts Tc and Roland De Wolfe and Marty Smyth both check. The turn is the 7s and Smyth bets out $400,000, which De Wolfe calls immediately. The river is the 9s and Smyth checks to De Wolfe, who shoots out $500,000. Smyth folds Ac Qd face-up and De Wolfe shows Ks 5s for the flush. Mizzi mucks his hand and is thus eliminated, heading back to Canada EC 210,000 richer.

De Wolfe Doubles 3 years ago

Roland De Wolfe limps-in from the small blind and Sorel Mizzi raises it to $320,000. De Wolfe comes over-the-top all-in for $1.3 million, and Mizzi makes the call with pocket sevens to "Ronald's" Ks Qd. The flop comes Js Tc 2h to give De Wolfe the open-ender, and after the turn is the 2d the river is the Ad, doubling up De Wolfe and near crippling Sorel Mizzi.
