Not a British poker player, but a popular and familiar face on the UK poker scene - due in part to his 2002 victory in seminal poker program 'Late Night Poker' - Padraig Parkinson has added the inaugural Galway heat of the UK and Ireland Poker Tour to his list of honours.
Parkinson forms a hilarious and insightful commentary team with poker commentator and author Jesse May, and will no doubt have added a few new anecdotes to his collection during the course of this event.
The UK and Ireland Poker Tour is sponsored by PokerStars.
