It took the entire festival to get here, but it’s finally time for the Day 1 survivors to merge and play down to a winner in the €250 Mini Irish Open.
There were 6,411 buy-ins reported to this tournament, making it the highest-attended event of the 2025 Irish Open. The €1 million guarantee has been easily eclipsed as more than €1.3 million will have been awarded to ITM players by the time someone has accrued all 192,205,000 in chips.
The 13 starting flights (the last one ending with the letter M!) have propelled 317 contenders into the final day. They have all locked up prizes as each heat ran deep into paid places (the top 5% advanced).
Jeevan Lobo is currently leading the pack, with 2,135,000, trailed by Marvin Woerner and Matthew Micallef who are also on the north side of the 2-million mark.
Action resumes at 12 p.m. local time, at 10,000/25,000. An average stack equals roughly 24 bigs, so we’ll likely see the field dwindle very fast in the first hour or two.
From 1 p.m., you can follow the conclusion of this massive tournament live here thanks to our live updates.
