The €250 Irish Amateur Poker Championship is STILL open for registration, and it looks like a very high percentage of busted Main Eventers have been keen to try their luck in this currently 192-runner tournament. The structure has been widely praised, and is wisely a two-day event!
Here are a selection of notable players’ chip counts, and the top stacks from the tables currently:
| Albert Sapiano | 165,000 |
| Remur Matache | 120,000 |
| Kevin Duffy | 114,000 |
| Leo Worthington-Leese | 112,000 |
| Joost Melkert | 104,000 |
| Ektor Strumi | 100,000 |
| Boris Otel | 100,000 |
| Evan Lester | 93,000 |
| Timothy Silman | 88,000 |
| Haim Dahen | 82,000 |
| Gerrard Sagarra | 78,000 |
| Craig Ledwith | 73,000 |
| Kim Kilroy | 62,000 |
| Elizabeth Bennett-Martin | 53,000 |
| Baptiste Duny | 37,000 |
| Jamie Wynne* | 36,000 |
| Niall Farrell | 27,600 |
*Jamie Wynne gets a chip count because he started dictating, “Jamie Wynne is a really good player and has played really well…” and you don’t ask you don’t get but also counts as a notable for the Irish Open 2023 because he finished (joint) third in the €350 Heads Up Championship today.
