Print-icon
 

The trophy for the Winamax European Shorthanded Poker Championship has been taken off Irish soil and now makes its way to France with Cyril Delaire.

The Frenchman topped a total field of 818 to take home the lion’s share of the €400,000 prize pool.

With just one Irish player at the final table to prevent it from being an all-French battle, the odds were the €65,000 top prize and the trophy would be making its way to home ground for the first time.

Delaire had the chip lead when he reached the heads-up stage versus Damien Llommeau with 12,610,000 to Llommeau’s 3,650,000. Just a few hands in and it was all over when they both got all in on a flop of 10Heart Suit 9Club Suit 8Club Suit. Delaire flipped over JHeart Suit 9Diamond Suit while Llommeau revealed JSpade Suit 6Spade Suit. The final two cards to hit the felt were the 6Club Suit and 5Club Suit and Llommeau hit the rail in second place for €45,000.

Here are the final table results and payouts:

1. Cyril Delaire €65,000
2. Damien Llommeau €45,000
3. Maxime Cohet €31,500
4. Mick Graydon €24,000
5. Julien Lourdin €19,000
6. Loci Hervier €15,000
