With the Irish Open being played online on partypoker for the first time in its history, the festival got off to a flying start yesterday, smashing the guarantees in the first to events and crowning the first champions of the festival.
The overall schedule consists of 22 events with buy-ins ranging from €162 up to €5,200, with the guaranteed prize pools weighing in at more than €2.7 million.
However, that figure looks set to be eclipsed after 441 entrants in the opening event smashed the guarantee, generating a prize pool of €132,300.
