Limerick Poker Event Won by O’Sullivan
Snooker hall club owner Connie O’Sullivan, from Killarney, took first place at the recent Munster Open in Limerick, playing at the Greenhills Hotel on Saturday. Saying he was “over the moon” in delight at his win, O’Sullivan was actually a favorite to win the poker event, but he wasn’t aware of it. He recently converted half of Cue Club in Killarney, which he owns, to a poker club, which may have had something to do with his win.
The prize pool was a healthy € 50,000, and O’Sullivan took € 7,000 as his share…
