With the League Final just around the corner, i thought I'd make a few calculated predictions at who will cash and who will win on May 18th!
Overall pre-tournament favourties are Steven Bohan(20k), Matt Burke (22k) and Mick O Hara(18k). Their chip stacks combined with their style of play will suit this kind of structure, although if Mr. O Hara continues to try and steal blinds the way he has been doing of late then I can see him losing alot of chips very early
!
Matt Burke is an obvious choice to make it down far. He made 15 final tables out of 19 in the league and cashed 6 times. Steven Bohan also is well capable of takng it down in his first season of poker!!
The hardest man to get chips off will without a doubt be Seamus Hunt. The man is a rock of rocks. He will make the last 5-6 almost guaranteed, but will be low stacked. Goin by previous performances that is....
Last years winner, Brendan Doddy will be looking to defend his title and add his name to the cup for the second successive year. With 16,000 in chips, he has more than enough ammo to get the ball rolling.
Martin Downes and Dessie Murphy who both have 8,000 will be definitely in with a shot if they can gather up a few chips early on.
So here's who I think will be in the top 5(in no particular order) come the early hours of May 9th.....
Matt Burke, Steven Bohan, Mick O Hara, Brendan Doddy, Martin Downes.
I think the winner will def be one of the above 5 ;D
