Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The Royal Dublin Society tournament floor was packed to the rafters today as 558 entrants took to the felt in Day 1c of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty here at the Irish Poker Open. Today's flight eclipsed the total entries of the first two flights by 158 players. Only one could come out at the top of the table, and that was Nikolaos Angelou who bagged 900,000 after another 14 levels of play today in Ireland's capital. There will be 158 players total from this flight returning for Day 2 tomorrow at 12 p.m. local time.
Angelou went under the radar amongst the masses who took to the felt today. The Greek national has amassed $635,231 in total career tournament earnings. He has cashed three times in Dublin, twice last year and once in 2023 in events all under the €400 buy in level. Angelou will be looking to make a deep run and record his largest ever cash in the Irish capital.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Nikolaos Angelou | Greece | 900,500 | 300 |
| 2 | Archibald Seaton | United Kingdom | 782,000 | 261 |
| 3 | Jason Barton | United Kingdom | 605,000 | 202 |
| 4 | Ben Miller | United Kingdom | 560,500 | 187 |
| 5 | Vikrum Mehta | United Kingdom | 559,000 | 186 |
| 6 | Patrick Clarke | Ireland | 525,000 | 175 |
| 7 | Michael Khan | Canada | 437,000 | 146 |
| 8 | Lee Rogers | United Kingdom | 421,500 | 141 |
| 9 | Mateusz Moolhuizen | Netherlands | 416,000 | 139 |
| 10 | Barry Furlong | Ireland | 403,000 | 134 |
Archibald Seaton sits in second place with 782,000. Seaton started strong, stacking David Hu (who rebought and will return for Day 2 with 130,000) having made a flush. Seaton has earned $615,819 in tournament earnings and has two cashes in Dublin, both of which came last year.
Jason Barton rounds off the final podium spot with 605,000. Like his fellow podium place holders, he also holds cashes in Dublin, but they were from 2011 and 2014's installment of the UKIPT Dublin.
Other notables returning for tomorrow's Day 2 include but are not limited to: Alessandro Pichierri (293,000), Juha Helppi (275,000), Andrew Hulme (128,000), Jon Kyte (101,000) and Leo Worthington-Leese (97,000).
PokerStars Ambassadors Sebastian Huber and Sam Grafton tried their luck and failed to bag a stack in this flight for the start of play tomorrow.
Play resumes at 12 p.m. local time with blinds at 2,000/4,000 with a 4,000 big blind ante. Tomorrow will see the clock extended to one hour long levels and eight will be played.
Stay tuned to PokerNews for what promises to be a Sunday packed full of action in the mystery bounty and the first day of the Irish Open Main Event.

: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Action was picked up on the flop of 7♥5♥4♣ with around 45,000 in the middle. Barry Furlong led out for 20,000 from the big blind. Hiep Ninh called from the cutoff.
On the A♠, Furlong barrelled again, sizing up to 30,000. Ninh seemed to be in a tough spot and he took around a minute and change to make the fold.
