The Unibet Open Dublin was Paul Vas Nunes' to win. He carried a big chip lead into today's final table play and, except for a small period, held the chip lead throughout today's play - all the way to the title!

Van Nunes becomes the first Brit to pickup a Unibet Open title.

Runner-up Emil Pedersen had quite the adventure today. Down to just a few chips at one point, he built and built his chip stack - so much so that he took the lead away from Vas Nunes for a little bit.

Another successful event by the folks at Unibet.
