IPNpoker takes 25% of the field at Scottish Poker championships

October 13, 2008

A total of 103 players participated in the Scottish Poker Championships 2006 on the 1st July at the Gala Maybury Casino in Edinburgh.
The event was a £1,000 double chance No-Limit Texas Holdem event over 2 days.
IPNpoker had qualified 28 players from all over Europe via online satellites meaning we had over 25% of the field.
 

The field had some notable professional players mixed with the local Scottish players and the IPNpoker qualifiers.

When we got down to the final 10 players IPNpoker still had 3 players left. All three were guaranteed a payday the question was how much and how high could they go.

Out first in 10th Place was Danish playerJohnny “Dahl-kanal” Dahl taking home £1,000 for his effort.

Next to go out was the strong Yorkshireman Mark “simo06” Simpson, he collected £2,060.

With 8 players left and blinds increasing their was a real battle taking place especially with the young guns of Rory Mathews and Jules Adamson taking on the very experienced Steve Jelinek. Right in the middle of these battles was the quiet but very experienced IPNpoker player from Finland Mika “Muppet III” Paasonen. He was steadily moving up the positions as other players were eliminated. Finally he was taken out in 6th place but received a handsome £5,150 ($10,000) for his troubles.

Rory Mathews went on to win the title but all in all it was a great event and the IPNpoker players put in some great performances throughout the two day event.
