Paul Vas Nunes Wins Unibet Open Dublin

English poker pro Paul Vas Nunes has won the Unibet Open Dublin heading a field of 260 players in the Irish capital to take down top prize of €105,300 at Citywest Hotel.

The €1,500 + €150 fell short of the 400 capacity but still generated a significant prize pool of €390,000 of from which 30 players got paid.

Vas Nunes started the final table with a large chip lead which he held for most of the day although this had diminised when he got heads up with Dane Emil Pedersen and they were almost equal.

The final hand of the 15 minute heads up duel saw Pedersen raise to 110,000, Vas Nunes reraised to 300,000, Pedersen popped it up again to 1 milion before Vas Nunes moved all in and Pedersen called with his final 500,000.

Vas Nunes had 88 and Pedersen had A Q and despite the board of J 5 4 K giving the Dane a few more outs to the straight the 2 on the river meant the eights held and Vas Nunes was the first English champion of the tour.
