The Irish Poker Tour has just crowned its newest 600 Galway Poker Festival Main Event champion, Derek Baker, who takes home the sum of 83,500, which amounted to the lion’s share of the 434,075 prize pool, a trophy, and a beautiful custom made bracelet.

After a marathon 15 hour Day 2, Baker defeated Denis Brosnahan after a short heads up battle, Baker coming into it with a huge chip advantage. Brosnahan can at least be consoled by a payday of 53,000 for his runner-up finish, more than tripling his total live earnings of $16,176 in one tournament.
