The Irish Open is taking place at the online poker site partypoker, with the Main Event already underway. The event began on March 26 and will run through April 7. Instead of taking place in Dublin like it normally would, the event is online. The 2020 and 2021 series has been hosted online at partypoker due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and travel concerns.
This year, the Main Event has a buy-in of €1,100 and began with three starting flights. A total of €1 million is guaranteed by partypoker and already players are vying for a spot in the competition. So many players have signed up to compete that the prize pool pushed past its guarantee and sits at just over €1.6 million.
