Because of course it does
If you have been paying attention to the record-breaking field sizes in side events so far at the PokerStars and Paddy Power-sponsored Irish Open 2025, it will come as no surprise that the €1,150 Main Event is on track to challenge its 2024 entry record (3,253).
This means that the €2,500,000 guarantee has been left in the rearview mirror, with nearly 3,000 players registered midway through Level 1 on Day 1D. With queues forming down the hallway, expect four figures of Day 1D entrants by mid-way through registration and potentially a new record by the time tonight’s 20:00 Day 1E closes at midnight.
Main Event stats:
- Day 1a 463 entries, 114 players advanced
- Day 1b 688 entries, 179 players advanced
- Day 1c 1,012 entries, 279 players advanced
- Day 1d ? more than Day 1c, guaranteed
- Day 1e ? everyone who’s busted the other four flights and can fire another bullet
Live reporting continues from the Main Event on PokerNews.
