The tournament needed 1,250 entrants to hit the ambitious guarantee; had founder Fintan Gavin lost the plot?</p> <p>It seems that Gavin knows his clientele because 1,771 poker enthusiasts turned out in force for the €100K for €100 event at Dublin&rsquo;s Green Isle Hotel, creating a €136,722 prize pool, over a third more than the advertised guarantee. Bravo.</p>
