We FINALLY have a winner in Radio Nova's Poker Run! PJ Gallagher & Jim McCabe invited the rest of Radio Nova's weekday presenters to help them run Dublin's biggest ever poker game... and one lucky contestant won BIG!

First, our two good eggs PJ & Jim got everything ready...

Then, on Monday November 3rd, we started looking for our finalists... and finally.. on November 7th... our 5 final contestants (four on-air and one on social media) - took part shutterstock 2427085701 e1761832843953in Radio Nova's Poker Run...

Marty Miller, Dee Woods, Pat Courtenay and Greg Gaughran were recruited as card dealers as our final five qualifiers embarked in an exciting mad dash around our capital on Friday... they met Dee Woods at the RDS, Pat Courtenay at Copperface Jacks (more accurately the Jackson Court Hotel - Coppers wasn't open yet... sorry Pat!), Greg Gaughran at the iconic Croke Park (followed by a lunch break at the brilliant Croke Park Hotel)... and then Marty Miller handed out our fourth set of cards at the Casino at Marino - before our finalists headed back to meet PJ & Jim to receive their 5th carts and take part in the grand finalé at our own Nova Casino in the foyer of Radio Nova's HQ in Dublin's docklands!
