Jaye Renehan Wins on First Stop of IPC Tour

Meath man Jaye Renehan won the €8,300 top prize at the first stop on the new PartyPoker.com Irish Poker Championship Tour in The Eglinton Casino, Galway, on Sunday, beating a 65-strong field in the €350 buy-in event. Renehan also won a seat worth €2,000 for the Irish Poker Championship televised main event, which takes place in January 2009 at the end of the eight-stop tour around Ireland.
