POKER MASTERS 2017 UPDATE
DAY 3?
Wow! What a final day to the 2017 Poker Masters. We had everything possible on the final day as the final 18 battled it out until 6am to crown the very first winner pf the Masters! All final 18 were in the money. In the end it was a heads up battle between Andrew “The King” King and Michael “Irish Open” Farrelly. After a lot of back and forth Andrew was crowned the champion, the trophy winner and the 20k first prize! Congratulations to Andrew and to all the finalists at the inaugural Poker Masters. Also a big thanks to everyone who played in the Main Event and helped make the event a huge success! Final finishing positions and prize payouts are listed below.
- Steffen Sontheimer - 2017 Poker Masters Event 2 Winner Steffen Sontheimer, who celebrated a birthday a few days ago, was one of only two players to make back-to-back final tables in the first two events of the inaugural Poker Masters.
- Sep 22, 2017 Part of it is the fact that the Poker Masters is a brand-new concept. In contrast, the 2017 World Series of Poker was its 48th. Of course, it’s a heck of a lot easier to believe in something that’s been around for almost 50 years. However, a concept like Poker Masters must start somewhere. It’s not easy to embrace change, but change is.

DAY 2
The tournament kicked off with a quick elimination. Just 10 minutes in, Event #1 champ Nick Schulman, who began the day third in Poker Masters earnings with $918,000, flopped trip tens and played. Jan 21, 2017 Directed by Borrtex. Short comedic scene about four poker masters, who met up at the world championship to play against each other. Unfortunately, the game goes wrong.
In the end we smashed the guarantee and the total prize pool comes to €68.500. We had 153 runners in total and a fantastic turnout for our first yer of running the masters. Club members and new visitors created a great atmosphere at the end. Some big name players made the 2nd day including our good friends Padraig Parkinson, Christine Machmann, Paddy Clarke, Tim Farrelly and Michael Farrelly. In the end the bigger names fell to the club members who showed great skill and feat in lasting to the final 18. After a marathon 2 1/2 hours on the bubble the final days players stood tall. Who will be the 2017 champion and the €22,800 first prize?
