The €1 million guaranteed Irish Open Main Event has well and truly begun, with Bjorn Gravlien topping a 324-entry Day 1a to lead 126 survivors into Saturday’s Day 2. It’s beginning all over again today at noon, with fresh 30,000 starting stacks waiting for fresh (and not so fresh) players to make the best use of them that they, with the help of the deck, can.

Also heading our way with the relentlessness of Yul Brynner in Westworld is the Irish Open Beer Pong competition, scheduled for tonight – an event almost as legendary as the Granddaddy of European poker tournaments itself. We hope to provide those who can’t be here in person with some of the fun of the games on and off the felt!
