The Ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival Main Event was underway at 1pm today. 462 players returned hoping to still be in with a chance of scooping the €100,000 first prize. The field started to shrink rapidly and by 10pm it was bubble time. With 78 players being paid the unlucky player in 79th was Lee Rabbit. The Irishman was to find his luck to change though as Ladbrokes offered Lee the very first seat in 2010's event.
