kobe71 Books a Return Trip with the Team for the Irish Open
The Irish Open online finals at bwin offer players two shots each week at taking down a $8,000 trip package to the upcoming Irish Open in April. We’ve seen a mix of familiar faces and new names play their way onto the bwin Team roster in recent weeks, and last Sunday’s online finals would feature a battle of new and old when it came down to heads-up play.
kobe71 represented bwin at the 2009 APT Macau and would be trying to win another trip with the Team, facing off against tbac1 in heads-up action after the rest of the field was eliminated. tbac1 has never been on a trip with the bwin Team but he was coming off a huge GSOP series that saw him take down more than $100,000 in total prize money, so he was definitely on a roll.
In the end it’d be the veteran who’d prevail, with kobe71 getting it all-in pre-flop with A9o versus tbac1’s A7o, and kobe71’s dominating hand held up to ship him the $8,000 Irish Open trip package and another amazing trip with the Team, this time to Dublin.
