The young 26 year old Canadian, Andrew Pantling finished 3rd in the Irish Open for 205 000 euros.

He took some early hits at the final table to short stack himself, but played an outstanding aggressive style to manage to claw his way up the money ladder.

A very good showing for this up and comer, definitely someone to watch out for in the future!

The lovely Kara Scott finished just shy of the first prize claiming the runner up after a very steady tournament from start to finish.

And the 2009 winner of the Irish Open is Christer Johansson, taking home the grand prize of 600 000 euro!
