Fitzwilliam Poker Festival 2009

The Fitzwilliam Poker Festival 2009 came to a conclusion on 1st December as the busiest and best attended festival in the history of the Club. The End of Month €270 Freezeout attracted a record 158 players and a prize fund of €39,500 while the Festival Main Event (€540 Freezeout) drew in a attendance of 111 players and a prize fund of €55,000. 

Performance of the week goes to Club member Paddy Hicks, a mere 79 years young: he outlasted 155 other players in 10 hours of play to take a third share in the €39,500 End of Month tournament. 

Also, many congratulations to Val Gabriel who took down the Main Event and walked away with the €18,200 top prize.

Note that due to the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays, December's End of Month €250 + €20 Freezeout will take place on St. Stephen's Day, Saturday 26th December at 8:30pm.
