Despite the presence of poker superstars Jude Ainsworth and Derek Murray, it was a night for regulars to take the big money at the Mid-Month €5k on Wednesday.
Shaun"Silage"Conroy got a great start by doubling up in Level 2 and was always among the chip leaders going on to win well from Kevin Roche, Mick McAvoy and James Walsh.
Second place for Kevin is enough to almost guarantee that he will win his long-running tussle with Manus Burke in the Tournament League. Only two counting tournaments remain and Manus needs to cash well in both to have any chance of overhauling Kevin.
