What sets the Irish Open apart from other poker tournaments is its historic legacy, unique atmosphere, famous Irish hospitality, and legendary reputation for camaraderie and 'craic' or spirit.
Last year, Dubliner Vincent Melinn won the Euro 350 000 first prize in only his second ever live tournament and the final table was broadcast live across Europe -- a world's first. This year the event doubles in size.
Unfortunately PaddyPower.com does not accept bets from US residents.
