Last Oct 25th, 18 players returned to the Burlington Hotel in Dublin yesterday for the conclusion of the Irish Winter Festival Main Event and with the clock nearing midnight it was Nicholas Newport who sealed the deal.

Newport made it into the final day in the middle of the chip counts but with plenty of skill and a little bit of luck worked his way to a three-way showdown with Charlie Harvey and Tom Finneran. The trio made a deal; the second and third place finishers should get the same money, before playing on for the win.

Finneran busted out just after the deal was struck, a queen on the turn helped neither player but a non-pairing four of spades gave Newport the flush, the title and first prize of €125,000.

Newport’s success is the latest in a string of good tournament results. The Irishman pocketed €10,000 after winning the Irish Series of Poker Main Event in Waterford in July and also had a deep run at the Irish Poker Festival in Killarney earlier this month.
