DOUBLY LUCKY...AND SKILLED!
Champ bet on himself
Paddy Power's Open Irish Poker champion, Vincent Melinn showed real
confidence in himself leading up to the finals - he put a Euro 250 each way bet
on himself at 150 to 1....and it worked!
In addition to his hefty winner's cheque from the tournament, Melinn's side bet
with the sponsor earned him an additional Euro 47 000.
Immediately after the tournament, Melinn told reporters that he is usually an
online player and had only played in one live tournament before, the World Series
of Poker main event!
