Irish Open Afterparty Heats Up on PokerStars as Winners Emerge Across the Schedule
The live festival may be over, but the action is still in full swing online.
The Irish Open Afterparty on PokerStars continues to deliver. With huge fields, big prize pools, and winners from across the globe, players continue to compete for a share of the $3,000,000 guaranteed prize pool across numerous events from April 12 to April 20.
Just like our live event of the Irish Open, buy-ins are for every bankroll and format, and the series already has produced standout performances well beyond the opening the weekend, which is showing the momentum is only building towards the final weekend, where the Celtic Fortune Main Event is the absolute headliner.

The Party Continues
The Irish Open 2026, along with the Craic Den, might be closed for yet another year in Dublin, but that doesn’t mean the craic has to stop. With the international stops now announced, Sydney in September 2026, Marrakech in November 2026, and the Afterparty series running hot on PokerStars, it’s safe to say the party continues!
