With a total of 240 entries already confirmed in the €250,000 guaranteed International Poker Open Main Event, the only question is how high that number can grow at the Bonnington Dublin Hotel.
Yesterday's Day 1b drew double the entries compared to the opening flight, with Ireland's John Vogelaar taking the overall chip lead after bagging an impressive 410,000.
As we head into the weekend, Day 1c is upon us today and could be the largest flight of the entire tournament. This suggests that by the end of today’s play, expect to see a new contender rising to the top of the chip counts as we approach Day 2 on Sunday, October 27.

The plan is to get through 15 levels, with late registration open until the end of Level 9. If needed, players are allowed one reentry per flight.
Blinds will start at 100/100 with no big blind ante, with every subsequent level then including a big blind ante.
