Irish Land Championships

From the land-tournaments to the online casinos, professional players attended the Irish Poker Championship hosted by Party Poker. The poker industry is a small one, where a core group of the professional players take most of the wins, but for a lucky (and skilled) local Irish player, he was able to take on land and online casinos professionals and win the tournament.

The Championship’s winner, Jude Ainsworth, is gaining a reputation in the poker world for his skilled play, but that isn’t to say that anyone would have bet on Ainsworth against competitors like Mike Sexton, Michael McCool, Ciaran O’Leary, among others. Ainsworth traveled the ten short miles from his home outside of the city to attend the Galway Championship. The expansion of poker into the online casinos arena means that even players in remote areas are able to practice and hone their skills. The practice is what proves key when these relatively unknown players show up at international tournaments and end up taking home the top prizes.

Ainsworth was probably just as surprised as the rest of the land and online casinos poker industry by his win. He commented, "It doesn't get much better than this. To say that we are going to sink a few pints is an understatement! I couldn't ask for much more than this.

Ainsworth plans to use the money to take a holiday with his wife and child, and naturally as buy-in money for future tournaments. Right now he has his sights set on one of the biggest land-based tournaments (no mention of an interest in any of the online casinos poker tourneys) the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas this coming summer.
