The Irish Open is one of the most eagerly anticipated tournaments on the live poker schedule, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has put paid to any plans of players flocking to Dublin for this year's festival. Fear not of missing out because the Irish Open has joined forced with partypoker once again, and the festival runs in an online format for the second year running.
Last year's Irish Open was a roaring success with guarantees blown out of the water. There is nothing to suggest the 2021 edition will not be as successful, especially as the bustling schedule is littered with exciting tournaments in a wide range of formats.
Brazil's Pablo Silva is the reigning Irish Open Main Event champion. Silva topped a field of 2,945 entrants, including defeating Andras Nemeth heads-up, to turn his €1,100 investment into €462,100. Silva will, no doubt, be entering one of the trio of Day 1s and attempt to defend his title.
The tournament everyone wants to win this time around is again the €1,100 Irish Open Main Event, not least because it has a whopping €1 million guaranteed prize pool. The Irish Open Main Event features three starting flights, the first of which shuffles up and deals at 7:05 p.m. BST on Sunday 28 March.
