How The Mighty Have Fallen

Among the first casualties in the league final are a couple of notable names, reigning champion Dave Curtis has validated my one hit wonder comment by bluffing of his entire stack in level 2 to a guy holding the nut flush, if your going to blow it you might as well do it in style i suppose. Also gone is Vinny "The Longlad" O Toole and in exiting he has demonstrated how much things have changed on the Galway scene. I think it fair to say Vinnie is a legend in the Irish poker world, the reasons don't really matter, but when I heard the shout "player gone" and asked one of the people at my table who it was, and got the response "the big guy in the orange jumper". Apparently its true that time waits for no man, but it is a little sad when one of the greats doesn't even get a little name recognition
