As we all know ( well hopefully you do! If not where the hell have you been!?) the Irish Open is kicking off on the 20th of March with Day One A of the Main Event €4200 + €300 in the luxurios City West Hotel!

Due to the huge demand there will be a second starting day on the 21st. With a capacity of 1000 players, will the Open get a Full House? After the outstanding result last year, I think its easy to say ‘’Yes!'’.

With a buy in of €4200 + €300 theres no messing about! Players who don’t want to pay it upright should have a go at qualifying online. Have a look at the tournament schedule!

A Bad Beat Memory from last year

As alot of poker players know, poker pro Juan Carlos ‘’The Matador'’ Mortensen went out first in the Irish Open last year. '’The Matador'’ got it all in after 11 minutes 15 second with his  against  , only to be destroyed by a 4 club flush on the board! Ouch!

Mortensen is the only player to win a WSOP Main Event and a WPT Championship. Hopefully we’ll see him back this year at the Irish Open, with better luck!
