PokerPlayer news editor Rick Dacey fared better in Dublin than his torrid showing in the PP vs GLC match last month, but lasting more than four hands shouldn’t have been difficult.

With 15.5 hours of table play – much of it with Andy Black, Barny Boatman and Donnacha O’Dea to his right – Dacey brings his post-Newport 75mph (miles per hand) down to a respectable 1.9mph (average of 30 hands an hour).

Knocking out the Hendon Mob’s Joe Beevers en route, Dacey came 41st, three places off the money. A rash all-in move against eventual winner Kieran Walsh brought his demise. Fool!
