The second day of the 2025 Irish Poker Open is set to commence with players taking to the felt in Flight 1b of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty at the Royal Dublin Society in Ireland's capital city. Play is scheduled to commence at 12 p.m. local time as more players will be looking to grab a slice of the €1,000,000 prize pool.
Niclas Thumm ascended to the top of the chip counts after day 1/A, bagging a total of 975,000 for his efforts. “Flushiisback” will certainly be one to keep an eye on when Day 2 commences.
He is pursued by Bryan Araujo in second place with 935,000. Araujo played a solid game and won multiple decent pots, including being on the right side of a cooler versus Zoran Stojanovic early into yesterdays play.
Niall Farrell claimed third spot with a stack of 392,000, meaning there is a gap of 570,000 to second place. Farrell who is top of the all time money list in Scotland will be a force to be reckoned with if he plays and runs as well as he did on Day 1/A.
