It is often high-stakes poker tournaments that the poker community and media focus their attention on, leaving low-to-mid-stakes grinders' achievements unknown to the masses. That will change today because PokerNewsis shouting from the rooftops about Ireland's Paul Carr whose brace of titles at the recent Irish Poker Tour Galway Winter Festival capped off an impressive 2024.
Those PokerNewsreaders of a certain age may remember Carr was the runner-up to James Mitchell in the 2010 edition of the Irish Open Main Event. Carr walked away with €312,600 that day in what was only his sixth recorded live score.
Despite that huge score, Carr continued mostly grinding low and small-stakes live tournaments, particularly those taking place at the Eglinton Card Club in Galway. It was quite fitting that Carr's latest victories came at the club where he loves to get his grind on.

The €200 No-Limit Hold'em Eglington Poker Cup, the Main Event of the Irish Poker Tour Galway Winter Festival, saw 144 entrants create a €23,620 prize pool. The top 15 finishers shared that pot, fighting it out for a €5,550 top prize.
Carr reached the final table second in chips behind David Cleary. When Clearly busted in fifth for €1,775, the remaining four players, Carr included, struck a deal to lessen the pay jumps. Not long after, Carr found himself sat behind all of the chips, earning himself €4,325 and the winner's trophy.
In addition to his prizes, Carr picked up valuable Irish Poker Tour Leaderboard points and climbed to second place in the standings. He trails Hugh Smyth by 540 points with only three qualifying tournaments remaining.

The top three players on the leaderboard on Christmas Day share 25% of the leaderboard's prize pool, which currently stands at over €56,000 thanks, partly, to Paddy Power Poker adding €10,000 to it. The top 16 finishers enter a playoff for the remaining 75%, with the top three scooping a €1,500 package to the Glasgow Poker Festival in 2025.
Last year, Carr topped the leaderboard and banked €10,000 from the playoffs so will be looking for a repeat performance this time around.
