UK & Ireland PokerNews Round-Up: Irishmen and Brits Make WCOOP Headlines

With massive prize pools on offer and its tournaments attracting some of the very best players from around the globe, it's not surprising that PokerStars' World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) dominated the headlines at UK & Ireland PokerNews this week.

The week kicked off in style with British pro Jack Salter taking down the Sunday Supersonic at PokerStars and collecting $56,179.12 for a mere 105 minutes work. Salter rose to prominence in 2014 thanks to a number of high-profile second-place finishes, not least in the European Poker Tour Grand Final Main Event for €765,000 and World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific Main Event (A$516,960).
