He used to post over the Poker forum on boards under the name âFlipperâ.
He won a big tournament a few years back when was only 21 or so, collected over 100k I think.
Donât know much else about him except he came across as a pure Corkie.
Flipper (No one calls him Kieran) was one of the more prominent Irish poker players on the scene about 3-4 years ago. Played with him a few times and can say heâs a a very good player. Then all of a sudden it was like he disappeared off the face of the planet.
He was playing PL Omaha for huge stakes online so it wouldnât take too much of a downswing to go busto. Not saying he did but the swings/variance in Omaha are a lot higher that in Hold 'Em.
HIs blog can be found below. As you can see there are no posts from March '08 until he announced he was appearing on the apprentice this year.
