Round 2 of the €350 sell-out heads-up tournament is well under way and last year’s Main Event champion David Docherty is already through to Round 3 (which starts at 5pm). Among those who sat down at noon for the mano-a-mano contest were Kevin O’Connell, Martin Gorenc, Daniel Laidlaw, plus Canadian Friends of the Irish Open Tim Silman and Raph Verdurgo. Live updates are here!
Other excitement on today’s menu includes the ever-popular single re-entry, €250 Hendon Mob Championship which started at 2pm and already has well over 400 runners. Award-wining PokerStars Live commentator Stapes, who came fourth in last night’s super-late-finishing #350 NLH 6-max, is in the field along with a host of luminaries such as fellow commentator James Hartigan, Friend of the Irish Open Darren Chow, PokerStars Team Pro Georgina James, Michael Kane, Canada’s Kim Kilroy, 2022 Main Event runner-up Kyle Maguire, Jessica Marks and Jamie Nixon. All live updates are here.
