Short story: Dublin Poker festival was the 1st ever live event I played when I was 18. I remember working at the Fish ‘N’ Chip shop at the time, not on much money, so I borrowed €1000 to go and ended up chopping the €300 side event for €4600 6-ways 🤣 Good times https://t.co/zVOFLGXg6t pic.twitter.com/URxYq74v6I
