Moyross resident Paul Carr was unlucky not to win the PaddyPower.com Irish Poker Open on Monday. He was one card away from victory - he was beaten on the last hand by Londoner James Mitchell.
Paul still walked away with a sum of €312,600 for four days work.
Dozens of Moyross supporters roared him on at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin.
“Paul was the best player in the tournament and he was disappointed to finish second,” said close friend John Paul McInerny.
Local punters Barry Quinn and Phillip Power agreed, “He played very well and there’ll be a big win for him soon.”
Gerard Fitzgerald, Dalgaish Park, Moyross said "It was great for the city and for Moyross."
Paul actually bought the ticket to the tournament from a friend who couldn't go and "dominated the final" according to a spokesperson for Paddy Power.
“I’m going to buy a house with my winnings,” Paul said afterwards.
