Irish Open Final Table Set to Commence

[user46298]

The 2009 Irish Open has dropped 692 players, leaving just eight remaining to take their seats on the lights-camera-action TV stage. In commanding shape is Canadian Andrew Pantling on 2.286 million chips. Used to heading the pack in this tournament, Pantling has been on-and-off chip leader throughout all three days and now has more than double the next stacks. Those are bunched tightly together -- Lee Brooke-Pearce, Atanas Gueorguiev and Christer Johansson just shy of a million apiece.

Also making a final table appearance is British-Canadian dual citizen Kara Scott, making the total of Canadians in the final 1.5. Expect fireworks when the players retake their seats (which will be in about half an hour's time).

In seat order, with counts, the final looks like:

Lee Brooke-Pearce - 998,000
Andrew Pantling - 2,286,000
Andy Bradshaw - 351,000
Kara Scott - 701,000
William Kassouf - 569,000
Bradley Verburg - 217,000
Christer Johansson - 906,000
Atanas Gueorguiev - 990,000
