Date: Sunday 30th October 2005 Venue: Merrion Casino, Dublin Event: EPT Dublin, €4,000 buy-in No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament
11.45pm-- Joe Rafferty is the victim of the final table's first bad beat, which leaves David Pomroy smiling. Joe's pocket sixes find another on the flop, which is bad, bad new for Pomroy. He has ace-nine and for once can't bully his opponent off the hand. He goes all in in the attempt, but Joe calls. The runner-runner straight for Pomroy is just what happens in poker sometimes. Still five - and Pomroy is back in the mix. .........................
Third place went to David Pomroy, a 22-year-old online whizz from England. Pomroy had been the menace of the Merrion for most of the tournament's second day, flying through the field and on to his first television table in what was one of his first major live tournaments. Pomroy has another €89,300 to wager on the online tables.
No one knows what Joe Rafferty did to upset the witches and warlocks of poker, but the 36-year-old from Ireland ended fourth, despite coming to the final table as chip leader. Rafferty was on the end of a couple of rough beats beneath the TV cameras, before finally departing while holding ace-four, his most hated hand. He had led the 2005 World Series main event, before falling in love with that hand cost him his chance at the big one. Nonetheless, Joe took €69,500 for fourth. .................................... Someone who knows all about the sweetness of high-stakes poker is Mats Gavatin, from Sweden. Late last night, the 26-year-old tasted the glucose-rush of an EPT tournament win, earning himself €317,000 for his victory in Dublin.
