Winamax Bringing the WIPs to Poker
Level 3
: 150/300, 300 ante
Forget VIPs; at Winamax it's all about the WIPs! Just like in Marrakech at the SISMIX, several people have been invited to take part in the event this week and they include French professional video gamer Ronan 'carbonr10' Houssein, French YouTuber Pierre 'aypierre' Aymeric and French producer Julie Brochu.
We'll be keeping an eye on them as they progress through the tournament.

It's Day 1b, and the B Stands for Beer Pong
Level 4
: 175/350, 350 ante
Day 1b of the Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event is in full swing, but no doubt there will be several players eyeing up off-the-felt activities should their day take a downward turn.
Tonight is the famous Winamax Beer Pong Open. This is not your average beer pong tournament that perhaps you played at house parties. There are tables and rules and a tournament bracket projected onto the wall. There are team names and bragging rights.
Last time PokerNews reported on a Winamax Beer Pong Open it was in Marrakech at the SISMIX event. So entwined were the Beer Pong and the Main Event that the Day 1a chip leader reached the semi-final, and the eventual winner of the Beer Pong Open went on to be the chip leader of Day 1c!
Here are some pictures from the competition earlier in the year!
