Liam�s Expertise Floods Through at European Open

Liam �The Gentleman� Flood proved there is no substitute for a wise head and experience as he tied up the PartyPoker.com European Open in emphatic style to take the $125,000 first prize kitty.

The 64-year-old retired bookmaker, from County Kildare, Ireland, has been playing poker for the last 25 years, and trounced every barrier in his way with the flood of chips he won from finishing first place in both his heat and the semi-final.

Liam did admit he was not wholly confident of victory going into the final: 'I was worried about the chip leader John Magill, but I did feel I was in an excellent position. If I hadn't have won the final I would have been pretty disappointed as I had been playing so well.'

In a quality field that included last year's winner Ian Frazer, WSOP star John Magill and European hotshot Roland De Wolfe, Flood found himself on the final table with PartyPoker.com World Open champion and form player of the moment Pippa Flanders. However, not even Pippa's customary lucky toy donkey 'Eeemore' could prevent the wily Irishman's victory as he took out Wolverhampton's Darren Hickman in the heads-up finale.

A PartyPoker.com spokesman said, 'Liam showed us all just how valuable experience is. He is a legend on the Irish poker circuit and was a true champion from start to finish in this tournament. He seemed assured of victory throughout.�
