Guarantee Smashed After Second Irish Open Online Main Event Flight
A further 309 players advanced to Day 2 of the Irish Open Online on partypoker after Day 1b yesterday saw 793 entries.
This brings the total number of entries so far to 1,624, smashing the original €1,000,000 guarantee with three flights left.
There's an Irishman at the top of the counts, with Vincent McNamee bagging 325,994 to be the only person over 300,000. In fact, the Irishman is almost 100,000 chips clear of second placed Simon Higgins, who finished as runner up in the €2,100 High Roller earlier in the festival.
