Irish Poker Open 2020 Schedule
While all of the scheduled events look set to attract poker players in droves, it is the €2,000 High Roller and €1,150 Main Event that will capture the imagination of the poker playing public the most.
The €2,000 High Roller is played on Apr. 16 on eight-handed tables. Players sit down with 30,000 chips and play to a 30-minute clock. Some 70 entrants too part in last year's High Roller and it was Croatia's Sasa Ikac who emerged victorious to get his hands on €38,330.
Once again, the Irish Poker Open Main Event boasts of a €1 million guaranteed prize pool for the same buy-in of €1,150. A massive crowd of 1,340 players took part in the 2018 edition of the Irish Poker Open Main Event, smashing the guarantee by €347,164. Ryan Mandara was the main beneficiary of this juicy prize pool as he was the last player standing and the recipient of a cool €210,000.

Keep April 6th through April 13th clear in your diaries because those are the dates the 2020 Irish Poker Open festival takes place. This is the 40th edition of the Irish Poker Open and the organisers are pulling out all the stops to ensure it is one of the biggest and best on record.
Thirty-two events are scheduled across a week of poker, Guinness and that famous Irish craic. The Main Event keeps both its €1,150 buy-in and its €1 million guarantee, but we would be extremely surprised to not see the prize pool climb near €2 million.
This is because the 2019 edition attracted 1,807 players to it and they created a €1,805,870 prize pool shared among the top 223 finishers. Among those who reached the money in the 2019 Irish Poker Open Main Event included Keith Johnson, Tim Farrelly, Paul Berende, Andrew Sweeney, Ronan Sweeney, former champion Ian Simpson, another former champ in Patrick Clarke, Niall Farrell, Sean Prendiville, and Max Silver.
Weijie Zheng took down the Main Event for €300,000, only their fourth recorded live poker score and they haven't cashed in an even since! Zapateria casino valladolid yucatan.
