His name is Nicholas Newport and he is the successor of the last winner Michael O'Sullivan winner in 2009, another compatriot, too. The 1,650 buy-in Main Event at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin was composed by a field of 347 participants. A competition that has turned to the advantage of the winner of the last Main Event of the Irish Series of Poker 2010 of 10,000 entry fee against Charlie Harvey, another Irish player, in the final duel.
