A quartet of Northern raiders visited Malahide for the annual May Bank Holiday weekender, with three of the four ending up in the prizelist. Stephen Scannell, Nicholas Pilkiewicz and Gareth Annesley tied second on 4.5 points, just a half-point behind perennial weekend king Colm Daly.
Danny Mallaghan, the fourth member of the Ulster contingent, told me at the Civil Service tournament last night that he had his worst tournament in a long time - he kept losing his Bishops apparently. Still we agreed it was better to get your bad games out of the way in a single tournament.
Danny will be hoping for better luck when when he heads for Las Vegas early next month for a big weekender in the company of fellow Ulster players Sam Moore, Cecil Sloan and John Bradley. Danny is competing in the under 2000 event, while the other three all get into the under 1800 section.
Danny said if his luck is still out, he'll try a few hands of Texas Hold'em, which you blogmaster considers one of the most boring variants of Poker.
