Irish Open Main Event Trophy

The largest live Irish Open Main Event in history will crown a winner today. Out of a record-breaking field of 2,491 entries, only 16 players remain to fight for the top prize of €365,000 and the accompanying trophy. Whatever happens, it is sure to be a long and exciting day here at the Royal Dublin Society

Moldova’s Eugeniu Barbaros enters the final tournament day of the 2023 Irish Open €1,150 Main Event as the chip leader with 9,750,000 in chips. The most notable names still left in the two-table field are British poker polymath Benny Glaser (4,525,000), who already has already netted himself one Irish Open trophy this year, and Ireland’s very own Andy Black (5,325,000).

Black will have to compete with four of his countrymen who are also aiming to keep the trophy in Eire. Jamie Wynne (4,550,000), Thomas Murphy (2,950,000), Kevin Swayne, and Seamus Cahill (2,200,000) have some work to do as they are all playing under the average.

Also still in contention are David Docherty (3,075,000) and Carl Shaw (5,000,000). The former started Day 2 as chip leader while the latter ended that same day with that title.

Day 4 will commence at 1 p.m. local time with blinds at 100,000/200,000 with a 200,0000 big blind ante. Levels will last 60 minutes until the final three players have been reached, then they will be reduced to 40 minutes. The players will have a redraw at the final nine, when the unofficial final table is reached. Play will not conclude today before a new Irish Main Event Champion is crowned.

PokerNews will of course be live reporting until the very end. Updates will be posted on a 30-minute delay so as to not spoil the live streamed action, courtesy of PokerStars, to our readers.
