DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Planet Ultramarathon brings us this story about the Irish 24 hour running champion Dara O’ Kearney:

Dara O’Kearney has made a good start to the year by beating a high quality field in the European Deep Stack Championship held in Drogheda over the weekend.
A deal was done when five players were left and Dara, with a dominating chip stack, took the lion’s share of the prize money and the trophy. Congratulations Dara!
1st Dara O’Kearney €47,200
2nd Gary Clarke €34,100
3rd Fran Egan €28,600
4th Lloyd O’Farrell €26,700
5th Barry Hand €23,400

You’d have to run a lot of ultras to earn that kinda cash! Dara was third in last years Connemara Ultra.
