Pierre Calamusa went into the final day of play with double the amount of chips of any of his 24 opponents, and it's safe to say he made the most of that advantage as he was ultimately crowned the champion of the 2015 Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event champion — a tournament that attracted 959 entrants and created a prize pool of €467,513 — an accolade that came with a €70,000 prize.
The win brought Calamusa's lifetime tournament earnings up to $350,274, while the €70,000 (USD $78,012) first-place prize marked the third-biggest of his career behind the $89,974 he received for finishing third in the 2012 Euro Finals of Poker High Roller, and the $81,702 he banked for finished runner-up in the 2014 PMU.
