Less than five hours into Day 1c of the Main Event today, we smashed through the record set last year for entries at the Irish Open. In fact, we cruised through the €1 million guarantee yesterday but there was applause in the cavernous tournament room at the Royal Dublin Society just now when TD Shawn Lytle announced a new record of 2,495 entries. (Last year was 2,491.) Even more exciting is that the prize pool is now nearly 2.5 times the guarantee and still growing fast.
Below are pics of some of the 1c combatants
