PokerStars is celebrating the success of the 2026 Irish Open with a $3+ million guaranteed online series. The Irish Open After Party runs from April 12-20 and consists of 69 events, boasting combined guaranteed prize pools of over $3 million.
The 2026 Irish Open was a roaring success, especially the €1,150 buy-in Main Event, which shattered its attendance record. Some 5,003 entries were processed and a €4,852,910 prize pool created. Romania's Narcis Nedelcu came out on top and banked €336,798 after a five-way deal at the final table. Nedelcu would have scooped €517,100 had no deal happened, showing how the Irish Open Main Event has grown.
While there won't be any €4.8 million prize pools offered during the Irish Open After Party, there will be plenty for tournament specialists to get their teeth into. Sixty-nine events make up the schedule. Add their guarantees together, and you arrive at an impressive figure of more than $3 million.
Events Have Buy-ins From $5.50 to $530
Eight events take place on April 12, the opening day of the Irish Open After Party. The highlights of Day 1 include an $11 Spraggy's Mystery Sunday Storm, which guarantees $75,000. Those with slightly deeper pockets may want to jump into the $75 Spraggy's Mystery Sunday Special, where they'll play for a share of at least $400,000. Both of these events span two days.
Players can test their poker skills across a variety of games and formats throughout the online poker festival. Unsurprisingly, No-Limit Hold'em dominates the schedule, but games like Pot-Limit Omaha, Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, 8-Game, Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw, and H.O.R.S.E. are present and correct.

This two-day event is played as a progressive knockout tournament; it allows up to five re-entires during the first four hours of play.
Day 1 of the Irish Open After Party Main Event ends 7 hr 50 min after it begins, with surviving players returning to their seats from 6:05 p.m. BST on April 20.
