Sometimes all you need is one river card. Andrew Durkan found his when he was down to just 21 players in the €150 PartyPoker Tour Cork Mini Main Event. Instead of heading for the exit, he survived a brutal spot, went on a deep run and eventually walked away with his first live poker trophy and €8,600.

Mini Main attracted 411 entries, creating a €51,375 prize pool and beating its €50,000 guarantee. Plenty of action, plenty of players firing bullets, and one very happy winner at the end of it.


Durkan Goes from Short Stack to Champion

Durkan battled his way to the final table, where Trevor Dineen, David Murray and Robert Dixey were among those still hunting the title.

When the field was down to three, Dineen actually had the chip lead, and Durkan was the shortest stack. However, Durkan wasn't quite ready to call it a night. He doubled through Murray and eventually helped send him packing in third place for €4,125.

The final two decided to make a deal, locking up €7,100 each and leaving another €1,500 on the table. They battled for around 90 minutes before Durkan finally got the job done, taking the trophy and boosting his total payday to €8,600.
