The 2023 €1,150 Irish Open Main Event wrapped up in the early hours of Tuesday, April 11, with Scotland's David Docherty emerging as the champion following a long final day of play.

Docherty walked away with the trophy and €365,000 ($398,780) up top, as well as taking his place in Irish poker history. He won the biggest-ever Irish Open Main Event and the largest poker tournament ever held in Ireland after 2,491 entrants took their shot at glory.

Those players created the whopping €2,428,475 prize pool, of which Docherty claimed the lion's share.
