Padraig Parkinson is amongst the most popular players on the international poker circuit and is one of the great characters of Irish poker creating a huge presence at any table he plays at.
When Padraig is on form he is one of the best in the world and has turned a healthy profit at the World Series over the years finishing 3rd in the WSOP Main Event in 1999 and 3rd again in the WSOP $1500 NLH in 2006.
As well as playing high profile poker he is famous for his gift of the gab and caustic wit
Padraig has been a staple of the Irish Open and would dearly love to add the Irish Open to his long list of achievements.
