There’s some way to go but as we move into level 8 where the blinds will be 800/1,600, Mick McCloskey remains in contention with just above his starting stack.
There are legends littering this poker tournament and Mick is one such legend. Anyone who’s spent much time in poker around Ireland will recognise Mick, who’s contributed to poker in all sorts of ways: tournament organiser, writer, player and enthusiast.
Mick’s on 31k but with the blinds just about to rise to 800/ 1,600, we’re about to see a blizzard of eliminations over the next level as the blinds start to bite. Good luck Mick!
