1st - Declan Connelly - €48,389

Declan Connelly will be crowned our 2013 D4 Events European Deepstack Champion after defeating Jimmy De Barros in a short heads up battle up. Coming into todays play 2nd in chips he ended up managing to maintain a level head & after a few topsy turvy swings in fortunes he was on the good side of it when it mattered. Catching him on the stream yesterday we had Tom Kitt note that he wasn't really going to step out of line and would play a straight up solid game, in 2010 he final tabled the Irish Open and since then has a nice few entries on his Hendon Mob and this will certainly be a nice addition.

Ok folks that's it we are done & dusted here at the D4 Events European Deepstack Championship, we kicked off on Thursday by the time registration closed 9 levels later we had 454 entrants, starting off into Day 2 with 296 players and of those our 9th place finisher Marc MacDonnell would be our overnight tournament chipleader. Ten levels were scheduled for play towards the end of it we were rapidly approaching the money bubble but just missed out on bursting it so it would onto  Day 3 before we finally got to it, Noel O Brien would end up finishing Day 2 as chipleader after being one of the last people to register and not even turning up until the start of play, 45 players would make some return on their investment but we still had 48 players and 3 of those were just going to miss out, Florian Herve Bulliard was the player to bubble the money when he was eventually knocked out by final tabilist Matthieu Duran when his AJ couldn't get there against JJ with that all players were guaranteed a minimun of €950. Day 3 saw us play down to our final table of 9 players Bridget Chaney would just miss out on that most coveted spot on a final table. Onto the final days action Jimmy De Barros come in with nearly a 2/1 chip leader, Marc MacDonnell would get off to a great start when doubling through Jimmy De Barros bust a couple of hands where he had people dominated and a flip or two would see him exit off the final table after being one of 3 people (Dara O Kearney & Raf De Wever) to make two European Deepstack final tables quite the accomplishment.

The blog took a back seat one/two of the days as I made my live stream debut doing most of the commentary for the weekend, cheers to all the people who swung by for the weekend to give their input on the action. Cheers to everybody that tuned into the coverage and participated in the chat box.
