The Lock-In - David Docherty Part II

This week, we are locked in and out with newly crowned Irish Poker Open champion David Docherty. We talk about David’s epic run to the final table and decision to make no deal once he got there. David puts the Irish Poker Open in historical context and speaks about what it means to now be part of event’s folklore. Dara discusses his recent article about the positives and negatives of this year’s festival as we all weigh in on the rake, the structure, the capacity and staff issues, the livestream and the qualifier ticket system. There is plenty of conversation around William Kassouf’s various angles, and, more seriously, his alleged walking away from the table without paying his portion of a multi-way pot. There is also a brief chat about another alleged incident where Canadian player Louise Francoeur was slapped on the leg by another player at the table. Wrapping things up, the lads express their excitement for the upcoming Unibet Poker Chip Race Series - 8 days of mid-stakes action with 26 tournaments from April 16-23.
