Fantastic night in 147 Antrim at Poker Fundraiser


What a fantastic night in the 147 Antrim at the Mens Teams Fundraiser Texas Hold'em Poker night. After a total count £1165 was raised to help out the 3 Mens Teams going to the 2015 EBA Nations Cup in Killarney. From a total entry of 68 punters and after 7 hours of play we made it down to 9 at the final table. The banter and craic was great all night and the top table finishes were as follows

Joint 1st - Michael Higgins
Joint 1st - Dave Jones
3rd - Eamon Stockton
4th - Adrian O'Kane
5th - Mark Jackson
6th - Anonymous  aka "The Rock"
7th - Rebecca Yip
8th - Ryan Mahoney
9th - Leonard Clewer

Last but not least massive thanks go to Rinty Monaghan for running the evenings cards.
