The 2012 Irish Open main event final table was played yesterday in Dublin, Ireland. When the final table started there were 2 players, Ian Simpson and David Dean, with about 2 million chips and 2 players, Steve Watts and Thomas Beer, with 1.3-1.5 million chips. Many expected one of these 4 players to take down the tournament, instead it ended up being the smallest stack who took down the whole thing...
Kevin Vandermissen, a Belgian Pro, only had 492,000 chips when the final table kicked off and everyone had basically counted him out against the big stacks. Vandermissen used this to his advantage and kept a cool head while he waited for the right moments to strike (go all in and double up).
After only 5 levels of play, Vandermissen had defeated Thomas Beer, from Germany, heads-up and laid hands on the €420,000 first prize. This was his biggest cash of his career, with his second biggest being a second place finish in EPT Snowfest last year for €260,000.
Below are the final table results;
1st. Kevin Vandersmissen €420,000
2nd. Thomas Beer €225,000
3rd. David Dean €158,000
4th. Ian Simpson €107,500
5th. Steve Watts €78,000
