Sumo night in the Craic Den, symbolising rising to the challenge of guarantee-busting

The prize pool in this huge Mini Irish Open sailed past its €1,000,000 guarantee yesterday, and now it just remains to be seen how much more it can grow.

Day 1M is the last flight featuring the ‘regular’ structure (20,000 starting stacks and 30 minute levels); the latest of late-reggers will have to go for the Turbo Day 1N at 20:00 (15 min blinds).

Day 2 will be live blogged right here (click any event on the Schedule for info, galleries and live reporting (if available)).
