The Nottingham-based player (alias ‘r0lfus’) plans to invest his biggest ever win in property after capturing the six-figure sum when his AQ vs. AK hit the flush to consign local favourite Emmet Gough to the runners-up spot.- The four day festival attracted over 750 players.
Rolfe said: “I’m really pleased to have won this event. It’s a big stepping stone and a chance to invest in a new house.”
The 22-year-old, who won his place at Killarney in a rake race on the firm’s site, added to his joy by securing the first Ladbrokes Poker Cruise IV package.

Satellites for the cruise are due to start in December, exclusively online at Ladbrokes Poker.
Kate McLennan, Head of Poker, said "This tournament has once again been a huge success and is a fitting place to launch the Poker Cruise. It's nice to see familiar faces and also welcome some first-timers.
“We're already planning next year’s Irish event, though I think it’s going to take 12 months to recover from the weekend’s festival!"
An additional package for the Poker Cruise was won in the Ladbrokes qualifiers’ prize draw-selected by Boyzone’s Shane Lynch-by Laddies legend Richard Clarke. (Alias ‘KrackedKings’, formerly ‘richlizard’).
Lynch and Irish football legend Ronnie Whelan were on hand to impart their pearls of poker wisdom to proceedings at the event.
Ladbrokes Pro’s Jonas ‘Nebuchad’ Danielsson and Jon ‘Skalie’ Kalmar represented Scandinavia and UK respectively in the fun showcase tournament held on stage – with Nebu taking the prize and the bragging rights in the UK vs. Scandi vs. Irish team competition..
Multi table tournament king and recent Vegas casher ‘daddymac’ won the festival’s €300 side event and picked up €18000.
