David O\u2019Kelly<\/strong> is a familiar face among the Fitzwillam Card Club\u2019s clientele and has tournament cashes dating back to 2012 at the Dublin club. It was at this venue that O\u2019Kelly secured his first recorded victory on his Hendon Mob page, winning \u20ac1,780 in a \u20ac55 buy-in tournament in 2013.<\/p>\n

Two years later, O\u2019Kelly banked his largest cash when he was awarded \u20ac15,900 for triumphing in a \u20ac200 buy-in event in Dublin and now he can brag of a huge \u20ac30,000 score after he was the last man standing in the partypoker Fitzwilliam Poker Championships Main Event.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac50,000 guarantee on the tournament was not only hit, it was blown out of the water as the prize pool in the \u20ac450 buy-in event swelled to \u20ac100,000. The top 18 players received a share of this princely sum, with a min-cash weighing in at \u20ac1,200, a final table appearance locking up \u20ac2,000 and the eventual champion walking away with \u20ac30,000.<\/p>\n

Daugirdas Rimagalia<\/strong> was the first player to bust from the final table and he was followed to the cashier\u2019s cage by Trim Nikollaj<\/strong>, Wilhelmine Connolly<\/strong>, Eamonn Delaney<\/strong>, popular grinder Rory Brennan<\/strong>, and Audris Daugvilavicious<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With only three players remaining, \u20ac13,000 was the least anyone would take home. This is the sum Neil O\u2019Reilly<\/strong>, another club regular, got his hands on; it is the largest cash of his career. With O\u2019Reilly out of the way, Sean Prendiville<\/strong> and O\u2019Kelly locked horns heads up. Prendiville has more than $730,000 in live cashes so was the early favourite, yet O\u2019Kelly defied the odds to win the \u20ac30,000 first-place prize, leaving Prendiville to claim the \u20ac18,000 runner-up prize.<\/p>\n

Fitzwilliam Poker Championships Side Event<\/h3>\n

Forty-seven players turned out for the \u20ac80 no-limit hold\u2019em side event and they played for a \u20ac3,384 prize pool. The nine-handed final table received money for their efforts, as shown in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
