Pour le moment nous ne disposons d’aucune liste des joueurs, il est donc un peu difficile de s’y retrouver…. voici néanmoins quelques visages:
Luca Pagano
Il reste 30 joueurs dans cer Irish Open édition 2008, les blinds sont 6,000-12,000 ante 1,000.
Un des trois français encore dans le jeu connait son heure de gloire: il est assis en table télévisée.

en main, et est payé par un de ses adversaires qui détient 
Le flop est 
et donne tirage couleur au français.
La turn est miraculeuse: 
et permet à Levy de doubler et donc de rester en course.
Nous notons par ailleurs l’élimination de Julian Thew. Le joueur britannique avait brillament remporté l’EPT de Baden fin 2007.
Il reste 33 joueurs dans ce day 3 de l’Irish Open, et nous comptons encore 3 français dans le field.
Eric Larchevêque vient nous rendre visite pour nous raconter comment il monte à 320 K avant la pause:
“Je relance préflop 30 k avec

Thomas “Fougan” Fougeron (team770) se maintient à 140 K
Frédéric Levy 36 K
