The world was a very different place two months ago. Almost all of us were permitted to go out as often as we liked all day and night, with social gatherings like live poker events not just allowed but encouraged by every poker brand with a tournament festival.

So many things have changed in the last weeks and months that it might be easy to think that nothing from the world before Coronavirus exists. It’s a comfort, then, to see that Pablo Silva, who won the MILLIONS South America Main Event back in February, has claimed another win in the Irish Open Online Main Event.

With a field of 2,945 players, the Irish Open Online Main Event was won by Brazilian player Silva, who defeated Hungary’s Andras Nemeth heads-up to win €462,100 and the title as a truly major event signed off Sunday with a bang.

The final day began with just 51 players still in the Main Event, with Sihao Zhang the overall leader. The action was fast and furious, with Zhang working hard to hold onto his lead by the time the final table action began and just eight players sat at one virtual table.
