Adderley, Brown, and Garagnani Clinch Irish Open Titles

Three partypoker players became Irish Open champions and padded their bankrolls on March 30. John Adderley, Ross Brown, and Pedro Garagnani each wrote themselves into the Irish Open’s history books, in addition to giving themselves more ammunition for the rest of the festival.

Liverpool’s John Adderley took down the €265 Dublin Deepstack and walked away with €13,138 in prize money and the title of champion. Adderley now has more than $1.2 million in online poker tournament cashes and is rapidly closing in on 150 career victories.

The champion defeated Lithuanian Grantas Naujokas heads-up to secure the win, leaving Naujokas to collect a €9,141 consolation prize.

Everyone at the non-handed final table scooped at least €1,349 for their efforts over the two days. Joao De Brito, Cedric Schwaederle, and former MILLIONS Online champion Jon Van Fleet were among the finalists. As were Jonah Silverstein, Thomas Reilly, Victor Siminoato, and third-place finisher Christopher Andler of Sweden.

Irish Open #09 Liam Flood 6-Max Turbo Final Table Results

Place | Player | Country | Prize
1 | Ross Brown | Ireland | €8,495
2 | Andrew Hulme | United Kingdom | €5,890
3 | Rocco Smeriglio | Canada | €4,144
4 | Mitch Johnson | United Kingdom | €2,796
5 | Kenny Hallaert | United Kingdom | €2,026
6 | Arnaud Enselme | United Kingdom | €1,595
7 | Jonas Hagstrom | Sweden | €1,292

Ross Brown won the Irish Open tournament that every Irish player wants to secure, the Liam Flood memorial event. The late Liam Flood is an Irish poker legend, and we do not use that term lightly here at partypoker HQ. Flood was instrumental in the longevity of Irish Open and even managed to win its Main Event twice.

The Irish Open runs a tournament every year in Flood’s honour. It is quite fitting that an Irishman triumphed in this year’s event, Brown scooping the €8,495 top prize. Brown’s victory would have been impressive in its own right, but more so courtesy of sharing the seven-handed final table with some talented opponents, any of whom would have made a worthy champion.

Arnaud Enselme and Kenny Hallaert are regulars in tournaments with much higher buy-ins than the €265 paid here. British duo Mitch Johnson and runner-up Andrew “stato_1” Hulme are also superb tournament players. Congratulations to Brown, make sure you revel in the glory!

The High Roller Turbo, a €1,050 buy-in affair that drew in 60-entrants, was won by Brazilian Pedro Garagnani. First-place weighed in at €18,003 with runner-up Baard Dahl locking up the €11,227 second-place prize.

Earlier at the final table. Patrick Hyllegaard and Benjamin McMenemey fell by the wayside. The Rok Gostisa, a high roller and super high roller specialist, crashed out in fifth-place.

Victor Abreu saw his tournament end abruptly in fourth, before Samy Ouellani of the Netherlands busted in third for €7,297, leaving Garagnani and Dahl heads-up, and we know how that panned out.
