Isaac Haxton and Patrick Leonard Make Top Ten After Irish Open Online Day 1a

For the second straight year, the Irish Open will be taking place online at partypoker on March 26 to April 7 instead of its usual home in Dublin.

The highlight of the festival is easily the €1 million guaranteed Irish Open €1,100 Main Event, which kicked off the first of its three opening flights on March 28 with the other two to take place on April 4 and April 5.

The huge seven-figure guarantee is merely a placeholder as yesterday alone attracted 822 entrants which generated €822,000 towards the eventual final prize pool.

Now it is just a matter of whether this year's Main Event beats last year's event which generated a massive prize pool of €2,945,000 with 2,945 entrants getting into the action. Pablo Silva shipped the 2020 Irish Open Main Event for a whopping €462,100 after besting Hungarian online superstar Andras Nemeth (second - €325,423) in heads-up play.
