Some of Ireland’s finest players turned out for the The Irish Masters, the Dublin leg of this year’s European Poker Tour, held at the city’s prestigious Regency Hotel. Noel Furlong, Andy Black, Padraig Parkinson and Tony Cascarino rubbed shoulders with legends such as Jamie Gold, Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer.

Some 72 entrants from Ireland took part, amongst the 389 players in the four-day No Limit Texas Hold'em event, which generated a total prize pool of €1,847,750.
