It was during the morning of April 26, Tuesday that the Irish Poker Open Tournament 2011 delivered its ruling.

Another success story was made of Burlington Hotel in Dublin because 615 players were registered for the Main Event of € 3,500 creating a prize pool of € 1,968,000. And organizers awarded the top 64 players in the game. The tournament also drew many top stars of poker as well as English, French and U.S players like Michael Tureniec, Delfish, Sam Trickett, Claire Renaut, Dan Harrington, JP Kelly, Andy Black or the world poker champion Vanessa Hellebuyck. But after the competition, the crown was back in the hands of the local player Niall Smyth.

After 4 hours of frenzied play, Niall Smyth finally emerged victorious with a premium of € 550,000, while Surender Sunar finished runner up and pocketed € 290,000. The young champion also won a bonus of € 100,000 which means that he pocketed a total gain of € 650,000.
