Results: Paddy Walsh Invitational

Dear Bridge Players,

David Walsh just sent me the results of the Paddy Walsh Invitational held in the Galway Bridge Centre this weekend. There was a great field and great craic. This competition is held on the last Sat/Sun in August every year.

Congrats to Donal MacAonghusa emerged on top.

Donal is better known as a pro poker player and is based in the Connemara deep.
He has the ‘genial chancer’ look about him but anyone who scratches below the surface will realise that there is an awful lot going on under the hood. So this win comes as no surprise.
