Corkman beats international stars at poker championship

Cork native Kieran Walsh has fended off opposition from some of the world’s best poker players to win €150,000 at this year’s Boylepoker.com Irish Poker Championship Final in Citywest tonight.

Damian Kavanagh from Dublin was second and scooped €70,000. Kavanagh had won his entry to the final by paying just €50 to enter one of the weekly satellites in the Red Cow Hotel, which he went on to win.
