Wow, just when you thought the 2026 Irish Open couldn’t get any more exciting … well, you were wrong! Spin & Go Live has just been added to the schedule!!!!
Fans of the turbo-charged format are in for a real treat as we’ll be hosting Spin & Go Live every single night of the festival. If anything delays your arrival at the Craic Den this year, it’s going to be this!
Running from 8pm to 11pm every night, the €50 buy-in Spin & Gos Live games bring PokerStars’ electrifying format to the Irish Open once again. If you’ve never played Spin & Go before, then drop in for a session. These games are FAST and when we say fast, we mean you will struggle to get a pint of Guinness down before it’s all over. Each game features four-minute blind levels, a 4,000 starting stack and kicks off with 100/200 blinds and a 500 ante. The fun comes with the “spin” which means the prize pool could be anything up to €1,000!
We’ll have a dedicated area in the cash game room for Spin & Go Live and all you have to do is rock up (with cash or your cash game chips) and get your name down. With a €50 buy-in, players could be competing for a prize pool of up to €1,000 (20 x multiplier.) These games will run on demand so as soon as three players are registered and seated, cards are in the air.
How it works
The dealer will high card for the button and that player then gets the honours of pressing the ‘SPIN’ button to decide the prize multiplier. Spin & Gos are winner takes all (no deals!) and also, just so you know, these tourneys won’t award points for the PokerStars Live League.
PokerStars launched Spin & Go in 2014 and in 2016 took the game to EPT Monte Carlo for its first-ever live outing. It’s proved phenomenally popular at PokerStars events ever since.
Flip & Go
The Irish Spin & Go tourneys are IN ADDITION to our new Flip and Go tourneys. As detailed on our schedule story back in September, we’re also expecting big turn-outs for the €100 two-day Flip and Gos and have scheduled three of them – starting on March 29, April 1 and April 5.
