Pumped for the Main

The longest-running tournament in Europe, the Irish Open Main Event still stands as one of the most prestigious poker events a live player can win. Bragging rights for life and the possibility of an epic party await the eventual victor next Monday. For now, relive the story of last year’s champion, Simon Wilson.

The €1,150 €2.5 Million Guaranteed Main Event has unpaused (after Day 1A last Sunday) and will be registering players until 20:10 today.

Day 1A attracted 467 entries (four more than 2025’s first flight); 93 players made it through the day led by Massimiliano Cordeschi with 773,000.

Today’s live reporting will be courtesy of our pals at PokerNews: CLICK HERE FOR MAIN EVENT LIVE UPDATES.
