Never heard of the guy....
ONLY 36 folks entered the tourney...? Sh!t,......even a bottom feeder like ME would even stand a chance winning THAT one,...plus I'd get the opportunity to visit family in Ireland. Run up and down the beach squashing jelly-fish,...and taking in the Guinness factory for a few samples...

Never heard of the guy as well, but I don't think he cares very much... It seems there are successful players that are winning big on tournaments that aren't famous just because their not on TV.
Iv'e loved my trip to Ireland, both Dublin and the coast line. The Bog was kinda funny, with all those old farmers and Western music. Was like going back in time.

Congratulations to him i guess...
I also never heard of him before even if he was ATM in some past events. Maybe he will score bigger on future games and will get more attention from poker forums/blogs/sites.

He had a very good year, and his GPI score shows it. If he continues to play at that level, he could become a top 50 player, and we will surely hear about him more often. Looking at his photos, he looks a little shy and not a tv star material, so he better be a very good player to catch the eye of the public

Never heard of this guy but what an extraordinary run he is having. He must be some player to be beating these elite fields. I will be keeping an eye on his results in the future
