With over $1m in lifetime cashes, Dara O'Kearney is well-known throughout the Irish poker circuit, and clearly couldn't resist joining the party in the €1,000 High Roller.
According to the Hendon Mob, O'Kearney has over 70 live cashes in Dublin, but only one has come at the Winamax Poker Open. A 29th place in a €300 side event back in 2014.
He will be looking to add to that here in 2019.
Here are some recent eliminations, five of which came through a Day 0 flight and therefore started with less than starting stack.
With unlimited re-entry, they may well jump back into the tournament which currently has well over 100 entries.

If Alexander Boski had lost 20,000 chips with a starting stack, he would have been hugely disappointed with his start to the High Roller.
However, after coming through as chip leader of Day 0A, Boski had already bagged himself 2x starting stack and is an imposing presence at the table during the early stages.
Boski is a familiar face in Dublin, with four cashes and three final tables last year, including winning the warm-up for almost €6,000.

Max Silver has jumped into the Winamax Poker Open High Roller, and will be hoping for another deep run.
Last year, he finished tenth for €2,360 and the year before he finished fifth for €8,670. Can he make it three top-ten runs in three years?
