IRISH OPEN: SIMPSON LEADS THEM TO THE FINAL TABLE

PICTURE: PADDY POWER POKER




The final table is set in Dublin and we will find our next Irish Open champion sometime on Monday.

The Burlington Hotel will play host to the final nine on Monday, led by Ian Simpson. Simpson hopes that his chip stack won't go the way of the the chip leaders heading into today's play.

Both Manig Loeser and Andrew Badecker had monster stacks as Sunday play began yet both were out of the tournament far away from the final table.

Andy Black is a blast from the past. Black has been on the live tournament circuit for many years now and hopes that his tournament experience will help him make a move on Monday.

2011 EPT Snowfest runner-up Kevin Vandersmissen and 2009 WSOP Circuit Caesars Atlantic City Champion Samuel Chartier are two other big names to keep an eye on during Monday's play. Both players are short stacked heading into final table play.
