Even though the Irish Winter Festival is only in its ninth year, the event draws some of the most famous players in the world to compete in the Irish Masters Main Event which is a Texas Hold em tournament that typically is played out in October over the bank holiday weekend. Every year the events and prize pools have gotten bigger and the festival last year saw 398 players enter the arena. But ultimately it was a 24 year old student named Michael O'Sullivan, who hailed from the Dublin suburb of Blanchardstown who went home with the €143,000 first prize after besting Michael Murphy who won €88,500 for his runner up finish. The total prizepool in 2009 for the Irish Masters Main Event was €597,000 and this year it is shaping up to be even bigger! So get a satellite seat and start playing to win your way to the land of lucky charms and leprechauns this winter to take home the gold at the Irish Winter Festival!
