Danny Pyke has taken down the HighStakes™ Highroller event at the Irish Poker Open for €65,840.
The original online gaming brand, as its name would suggest sponsored the 2022 Irish Open and hosted their own €2,000 Event which garnered 157 entrances with a meaty €283,188.75 prize pool.
The Englishman adds the tidy sum to his previous live tournament record of $172,510 and came frustratingly close to besting his career-best cash of ÂŁ67,500 from the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour in London last July.
