After 12 hours of combat, the 2026 Irish Open Ladies Championship has reached its final table.
The field was whittled down, from a record-breaking 175, to just nine players — who will reconvene tomorrow afternoon and play until only one remains.
At the top of the tree — for now at least — is Irishwoman Baoyun Li, who amassed nearly a million in chips over the course of the day. Close behind her are Kristiana Stauere and Julie McCann.
Making deep — but not quite deep enough — runs today were Irish legend Annette O’Carroll, Hendon Mob final tablist Sia Browne, and Team Simplify Poker’s Janna Leach, who fell on the final table bubble — pulling in some badly needed points for Dara O’Kearney, in his battle with Michael Dwyer.
