One of the most exciting tournament debuts this year is the new Irish Open Flip and Go format. In fact, we’re expecting such big turn-outs for these two-day tournaments that we’ve already added three of them to the schedule.
The concept is simple: a super-quick Day 1 FLIP stage which hot-seats the winner straight into Day 2 – a conventional €1k freezeout the following day. No more grind!!! You’ll know within a matter of seconds if you’re through to Day 2.
How it works
Each Day 1 involves absolutely no skill at all – all you have to do is pony up the €100 + €15 entry and take your seat. We’ll deal a single, blind Omaha hand – the FLIP stage. Win it and you’re through to Day 2.
The only catch is that you can ONLY compete in the Day 2 tournament by winning a hand in the Flip stage the night before. The Flip stage is essentially a satellite. There is no additional reg fee on Day 2.
The three Flip Day 1s are:
- Sunday, March 29
- Wednesday April 1
- Sunday, April 5
Flips will be running from 9pm-11pm so plenty of time to have as many goes as you like. For every player who enters Day 1, €100 will be added to the Day 2 prize pool.
The Day 2 tournament will be a normal structured NLH, multi-table tournament. All players will get 30,000 in chips with 30-minute blind levels and 15% of the field will get paid.
