10 Apr 2012

DUBLIN, Ireland (PRESS RELEASE) -- Kevin Vandersmissen from Belgium has won the 2012 Paddy Power Poker Irish Open. He topped the field of 502 players at the €3,200 + €300 buy-in event at the Burlington Hotel, Dublin on Monday to take down the €420,000 top prize.

The highly experienced Vandersmissen, who beat the much less experienced German Thomas Beer, said of his victory, “I feel pretty happy. It’s my first big tournament that I’ve won. I tried to do my best. I felt pretty comfortable. I had to double up in the beginning and had to play very tight but as you saw I’m not afraid to bluff!”

Ian Simpson from Newcastle was the paddypowerpoker.com Sole Survivor, scooping €100,000 in tournament buy-ins and cash for outlasting 135 plus online qualifiers. Simpson took down another €107,500 for finishing fourth in the tournament.
