Just 29 players got through Day 1c of the €500k guaranteed Mini Irish Open last night from a starting field of 383 entries. Ireland’s Emad Aghasi was chip leader at the end of play with 765,000 – making him the overall chip leader at present. It’s his first cash at the Irish Open. Also through – Mick Graydon and Heads-Up Champion Alex Romero.
8% of the field get through – and get paid each day. One of the bonuses of the Mini is that the affordable buy-in and unlimited rebuys mean players can fire multiple bullets in their bid to become an Irish Open Festival Champion. Last year, this event was the biggest side event that the Irish Open had ever hosted with Belgium’s Simon Nickmans winning €17,590 after besting a 421-entry field. The total prize pool was €90,305.
– Day 1a: 302 entries – 23 through to the final
– Day 1b: 377 entries – 30 through to the final
– Day 1c: 383 entries – 29 through to the final
