Irishman Emmett Mullin wins the UKIPT Galway Main Event! Mullin (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) defeated Ronan Gilligan heads up. Gilligan (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) finished third at WPT Ireland earlier this season.
The two players started just about even in chips as heads up play began. The two duked it out for almost 90 minutes before Mullin picked up the victory.
ABOU RISK COMES UP SHORT
Defending Champion Nick Abou Risk was looking for his third UKIPT title since August of 2010. Entering final table play with a low stack, Abou Risk was unable to get things going on Monday, finishing outside of PTPR Points qualification for the event.
