The PaddyPowerPoker.com Irish Winter Festival drew the best of Irish talent and indeed a good sprinkling of international flair to the Citywest Hotel in Dublin last weekend. The all-important Irish Masters played out over three days and saw 398 players taking part in the €1,650 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event.
In the early hours of this morning, it was Michael O’Sullivan who took home the top prize of €143,000 from the total prizepool of €597,000. The young student beat Michael Murphy heads-up when his A-K dominated Murphy’s pocket jacks with an ace on the river.
Murphy took home €88,500 for his second place finish.
The final table payouts were:
1st — Michael O’Sullivan (€143,000)
2nd — Michael Murphy (€88,500)
3rd — Gary Mealy (€55,300)
4th — Matej Kokalj (€44,800)
5th — Igor Kurganov (€35,900)
6th — Stephen Devlin (€28,400)
7th — Paul Dooley (€22,400)
8th — Graham Masters (€17,900)
9th — John Cassidy (€13,500)
The seventh place finisher was also the IWF Sole Survivor. Paul Dooley [pictured top right] outlasted 61 other PaddyPowerPoker.com online qualifiers and became the new owner of a package worth €20,000.
