KK Poker Tour visits Doyles

Michael Prendergast was crowned the latest KKPT champion after a 3-day battle in Limerick, Ireland. 

123 entries over 4 hard-fought Day 1 flights created a €15,375 prize pool. 

KKPT Limerick was the final €150 buy-in event before the €100,000 GTD Season 1 Finale in Dublin during 26-30 March. 

Michael Prendergast came through a heads-up battle against David 'Panda' Fitzpatrick to win the €4,400 top prize, plus a €300 ticket to the KKPT Finale Dublin.  

In the final hand, with the flop showing 6h 3h 4c, Fitzpatrick was all in, and Prendergast made the call after some thought. 

Fitzpatrick showed 7s 6s for top pair and a gutshot straight draw. Prendergast needed help and he showed Ac 5s. 

The 8s turn was safe for Fitzpatrick, and he had a 77% chance of a double-up. But the 2s on the river turned the scenario in Prendergast's favor for a wheel straight and the winner's trophy.
