WPT IRELAND: SHALLOW GETS IT DONE THE HARD WAY

PHOTO/SOURCE: WPT.com

David Shallow surely likes to make things complicated. The goal today for Shallow (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) was simple. Take the humongous chip stack and bash your four opponents' brains in. Sadly, things don't go as planned sometimes - and Shallow learned the hard way!

Chaz Chattha (2011 PTPR Rank: 838th) seemed to be the small-stacked thorn in Shallow's side - he refused to step down and in fact took the chip lead while we were heads up.

But, Shallow was able to pull himself together and - in the end - became the first WPT Ireland Champion - besting a 338-player field in the process.

Steve Watts (2011 PTPR Rank: 1035th) was the other notable player at the Final Table - he was able to secure fourth place today in Dublin.
