Last year, a massive field of 3,233 entries assembled at the Royal Dublin Society for the 2024 Irish Open €1,150 Main Event. The tournament set a new record for the Irish Open and absolutely smashing the guaranteed prize pool of €1,000,000 by creating a prize pool of €3,152,175.

However, as with any other tournament, there could only be one person left standing at the end. Over four long days of poker action, it was Day 3 chipleader Tero Laurila who won the iconic Irish Open trophy and took home €292,685 after a three-way deal.

Laurila defeated Ireland’s Hiep Ninh after a relatively short heads up battle, as the blinds had been reduced from 60 to 20 minutes after the deal. Ninh, who plays almost exclusively in Dublin, took home the larger sum of €335,636 for his efforts due to having a massive chip lead when the deal was made. The final person involved in the deal was the 21-year-old Mark Johnston, who is just dipping his toes in the waters of professional poker and walked away with €232,685 for third place.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river of A♥K♠Q♠K♦10♦ where Raymond Wheatley checked from the big blind to Evert Bos.

Bos, in the cutoff, moved all in for 39,400. The pot was at around 55,000 before the wager was made. Wheatley went into the tank. "I don't want to give away a tell" said Bos as he slid into the table to hide himself.

Wheatley eventually folded his hand saying "i'll give you this one" whilst toying with the idea that Bos could have a small pocket pair.

Bos did table his hand, he had 4♠4♦. "I knew it" exclaimed Wheatley as Bos took the pot.
