The Paddy Power Poker Irish Winter Festival came to a close, with Fiachra Meere of Limerick being crowned the Irish Masters Champion, who survived a field of 423 poker hopefuls to scoop the €150, 000 main prize.  Meere defeated Chris Wood who collected €106,000 as the runner-up.

What makes this heads up match unique is both men qualified for the main event via freerolls; Meere won his seat to the tournament at his local cardroom's freeroll, while Wood won his for free through Paddy Power Poker.

1st Fiachra Meere -- €150,000
