Ireland's own Jude Ainsworth won the event.

This year, Party has announced a new land-based championship tour of eight qualifying events, the first of which was just held at Galway, Ireland's Eglinton Card Room and Casino. Seven more qualifiers will run throughout the coming months, each designed as a feeder into the 2009 Irish Poker Championship itself. The next stop on the tour, at Waterford, will include three IPC seats, while the final six stops on the qualifying tour will award seats to the top five finishers, all designed to produce a 2009 Irish Poker Championship that's bigger and better than ever.

In addition, a number of big names have already committed to play in the 2009, �2,000-buyin event. The list already includes Gray, Parkinson, Len Collin, Nicky Power, Ivan Donaghey, Rory Liffey, Mick McClosky, Paul Lecky, 2008 IPC champion Ainsworth and Keith McFadden.
