Beer Pong Champion Baumann Still in the Field
Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yesterday saw the "second Main Event" take place with the Winamax Beer Pong Open which saw 97 pairs whittled down to just one winner.
And for the second event in a row after Pierre Calamusa's victory in Marrakech at the Winamax SISMIX, another Winamax Team Pro took down the title with Gaelle Baumann and Kevin Noblat winning the event.
"It's perhaps even better than the Main Event because it's here in Dublin!" said Baumann shortly after winning. "You know, with people drinking and having fun. It's funny because when I'm playing beer pong I'm just so focussed it's like I can't lose. Even more so than in poker. And winning with my [Kevin] is something you always want so it's nice, it's really nice."
"We had six months training(!)" said Noblat jokingly. "For me, this is my Main Event because I'm covering the proper Main Event. This is the only moment all week where I can win."

Winamax Team Pro Deyra Sends a Player to the Rail
Level 15
: 1,200/2,500, 2,500 ante
It wasn't a classic flip, but a flip nonetheless as Ivan Deyra was hoping his 
would hold against the 
of an opponent.
The flop came 
but the 
gave his opponent a flush draw as well as his pair outs. The river was the 
and Deyra sent his opponent to the rail.

2018 Winamax Poker Open Dublin is Biggest Ever
Level 16
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
After coming agonisingly close to breaking the 2013 record twelve months ago, it's now official! The 2018 Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event is the biggest ever, with over 1,100 entries. This surpasses not only the 1,069 from 2017 but the record of 1,086 from 2013.
It also looks like the tournament could be one of the biggest 6-Max tournaments ever held, although Winamax are waiting to confirm that themselves.
For the first time ever there were three starting days, with the final one proving to be the most popular; having in itself more entries than the entire tournament in 2010 or 2011.
Here are the details of each flight's entries over the last five years.
| Year | 1a | 1b | 1c | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 336 | 623 | 959 | |
| 2016 | 323 | 655 | 978 | |
| 2017 | 373 | 696 | 1,069 | |
| 2018 | 183 | 244 | 764 | 1,191 |
And here is a table of all the former winners:
| Year | Field | Winner | First Prize |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 313 | Alan Trueick | €40,142 |
| 2011 | 656 | Steven King | €63,000 |
| 2012 | 818 | Cyril Delaire | €65,000 |
| 2013 | 1,086 | Jerome Guermeur | €75,000 |
| 2014 | 994 | Tom Kitt | €75,000 |
| 2015 | 959 | Pierre Calamusa | €70,000 |
| 2016 | 978 | Antonin Teisseire | €72,000 |
| 2017 | 1,069 | Otto Richard | €92,000 |
As soon as we get payout information - although that may not be until the start of Day 2 - we will get it available to you in the live updates.
