Done and done! We've completed play in Dublin and John Keown has captured the Irish Winter Festival Main Event crown at The Burlington Hotel.
Keown outlasted 393 runners to pickup the title - defeating Noel O'Brien heads up. It was a first PTPR Score for all five players who collected PTPR Points in the event.
Defending Irish Poker Open Champion Niall Smyth made a go at it looking for another major event victory in Dublin this season ... but, Smyth wasn't able to do better than 11th position, still a very good showing by Smyth.
