Padraig Parkinson is an Irish professional poker player. He is chiefly recognised as the grand final winner of Late Night Poker series 5 (where he defeated Korosh Nejad) and as the third-place finisher of the 1999 World Series of Poker where he lost to fellow countryman Noel Furlong.Originally Parkinson refused to play in Late Night Poker as he did not wish to have his cards shown to the audience. His mood changed when money was added to the prize pool and sponsorship also became a factor.
