I had some lovely runs in the tournaments that I played over the month of march but ultimately fell a little short in all.
My sponsor had a great online series early in the month. My best finish was 9th of the 3200 entrants in the 100k Guaranteed PKO event.
A nice run but just a little shy of a big payout. The series was a great great success for KKpoker and more and more Payers are enjoying this excellent Poker Client.

European Deep Stack / Dublin poker festival
The festival started with the ACOP tournament. I struggled to get a stack in this one grinding a small stack towards the money bubble. I thought I was the bubble boy but another player existed the same hand so it was the minimal of min-cashes here for me with a split bubble pay out. Sure every little helps.
Next up was the €500 Entry European Deepstack at the Dublin Poker Festival held in the Bonnington Hotel Dublin. This is a well established festival on the Irish scene and a trophy all Irish player would like to get there hands on. Amazingly Tommy "lucky mo" Geleziunas has managed this feat twice in two years.

Tommy put in a super performance to retain the title winning the event for the 2nd year in a row. An amazing achievement from an amazing player and luckily I had a small % swap with the double champ.
My own tournament was ended at the hands of another Irish Poker Legend namely Patrick "clicky" Clarke. It had been a tough tournament to navigate with a very high standard of play. Clicky put an end to this navigation well inside the money bubble in a classics race, AK V 77.

I was out in 40th of the 467 players for €1050 another good run but again a little short of a real payday.
Irish Poker Tour / Dublin €100k for €100
These low buy in big guarantee events at the Green Isle are always great craic and this festival over St Patricks' was a belter as expected.

A whopping 1,771 player entered the main event. I got off to a brilliant start finishing day one with 553,000 chips and a 4th position stack for day two.
245 player entered day two with 178 getting paid and a €20k first prize. With 63 players left I had 1.6million in chips which was an average stack. My run was to come to an end with 50 players left when i got my chip in AQ V KK.
No ace saver and it was out in 50th. A €550 payday and 160 league points. the story of March remained the same another deep run but out before the big money. There's still time for a trophy in march but my eyes are more so focused on one for very early April 🙏

I'm off Monday for the big one for every Irish Player - The Irish Open.
A tournament I came within a card of winning back in 2010. Hopefully I can keep up the good form next week as this one means everything to me.
Until the next blog, be lucky at the tables.
