There is an article on page 8 (maybe page 6 or 10, not sure:p) on John O' Shea in todays Irish Sun......... (thats JOS the pkr plyr, not the footie plyr for all the noobs on the scence)
They discribe him as an unempolyed 23 year old (like LOL, hes obv Pro Poker Player):mad:
They also say hes the cheeky chap of Irish poker.:D, not wrong there!!!!!!
Very poorly written but i know this will mean alot to him as you know you've made it if the Irish Sun have picked up on it.
If he makes another FT in the WSOP he may even make the Iriosh Mirror. (LOL:o)
P.S.Theres a nice Pic of him too for all the females out there:p:p
The documentary on him is up on Amazon but there seems to be no info about him after 2013.
I am guessing he stopped playing and got a regular job ?
Documentary is worth watching btw .
Yes ...
He made a HUGE ridiculous bet on a heinekin cup match. He then lost. To the amount of 118, 000.
He made no dispute of this. He just refused to pay and then argued that Irish gambling debts under law couldn't be enforced or collected. He won his lawsuit.
The High Court held that the applicable legislative regime in Ireland, namely the Gaming and Lotteries Act, 1956, prohibits the enforcement of betting contracts as they are manifestly contrary to public policy, and the court was thus prohibited from recognising the order of the London court.
