WSOP 2009 Playing against Denis Phillips!

Well today was an experience, continuing my on going dream\adventure of attempting to qualify for the World Series of Poker 2009 via PokerStars Steps I ended up playing Denis Phillips at step 3 (for those that don't know Denis was a finalist in last years World Series) - Twice I tried to bust him out, first with a pair of 10's and Denis went all in after the flop of Q,9,2 (rainbow) and he had QK - I shouldn't have called but I just had to try and bust Denis out. The second time I had 9-10 suited with a flop of top pair 9's. Denis went all in and having him covered I called only to find he had A9 eventually I finished 3rd so just missed out on qualifying for step 4 but still back in step 3 and I'll attempt step 3 again tomorrow. Bring on Phil Hellmuth!!

Would also add that Denis already has his seat at this years WSOP and he was playing for the practice - nice! And he is a friendly fellow. Did I learn anything....Yes... play my own game despite who the opponent is. I look forward to next time Denis!

Newmac Dior looks to have settled in well. Fingers crossed she can win some races for her new owners.

Pup SOLD to Czech Republic

Today Michal and his friend arrived in Macroom in their Transporter after driving for 40 hours!

They bought a 6 month old Droopys Scolari x Droopys Dior bitch puppy (Newmac Dior) and intend to rear and then race her in Prague.

I took them up to Kielduf where we handed over all paperwork, EU passport, IGB Identity book, Vets Certificate for Health and Rabies Jab.

It was good to meet Michal after dealing with him via email this last 8 weeks or so.

For anyone contacted by CGDF they are genuine buyers looking for 100% Irish bloodstock, apparently from what Michal said the Czech greys have a tendency to fight rather than chase and the plan is to input some Irish blood in to their stock.

Here is a link to their web site http://www.cgdf.cz/
