The Irish Poker Open 2026 is finally here. The expectations are high for this year’s event, and this Swedish blogger is beyond excited to be back on the Emerald Isle.
Day 1a of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty is the one tournament that kicks off the 12-day bonanza, and it’s destined to do so in stellar fashion. Last year’s inaugural flight attracted 132 entries, and the expectations are high for the 2026 edition.
The tournament commences at 12:00 (that’s in roughly 10 minutes), and late registration will be open until 20:10. All players will receive a 50,000 starting stack, and the first level will feature Blinds 100/100 with a 100 Ante.
The tournament has a €1,000,000 guarantee, and a big field is expected to compete for top dollar, perhaps exceeding the 1,222 entries scored last year.
I, Christoffer Karlén, am very excited to kick off this year’s live blog, following Day 1b of the €1,150 Luxon Mystery Bounty until those surviving Level 15 bags and tags for Day 2.
It’s a pleasure to be back, and in 10 minutes, cards will be in the air.
