Catching up with 2017 Winamax Poker Open Dublin Runner-up Sonny Franco
Yesterday Sonny Franco made it through to Day 2, but we spotted him chilling in the tournament room and we grabbed him for quick catch-up.
"I'm happy to be back here," he said. "I'm obviously trying to do better than last year, so it's going to be hard. But I'm going to try.
"Yesterday I made it through Day 1 with 20 big blinds, so it's going to be hard. But I'm just hanging out; it's still fun to be here. It's nice."
With a deep run under his belt, he must have good memories of the Winamax Poker Open here in Dublin
"It's a very special tournament. There's lots of drinking and lots of fun around. It's not like a professional tournament where it's all serious. But obviosuly if you can play, you play to win."
And with two days off, what has he been doing with himself?
"Relax!" he said with a smile. "Try to visit Dublin, spend time in the leisure room here and just hang out with friends and enjoy the moment."
