Live: L'Irish Open revient en avril
Le Citywest Hotel Dublin va accueillir l'Irish Open du 11 au 18 avril et les passionnés pourront arriver en avance pour disputer les Norwegian Championship. Après deux années où le festival s'est joué online, place aux cartes pour 42 tournois en 8 jours !
Avec des buy-ins allant de 100€ à 5000€, l'organisation a pensé à tous les types de joueurs... le Main Event à 1150€ est d'ailleurs accessible pour une fraction du prix, notamment grâce à des satellites sur partypoker ou Paddy Power Poker. Le tournoi principal proposera 4 journées de départ, le dernier étant un turbo... et il n'y a pas de garantie pour ce qui demeure le plus vieux événement live de l'Europe du poker. La première édition a eu lieu en 1980 et avait été remportéee par Colette Doherty (qui s'est de nouveau imposée en 1991, ndlr) !
Outre le Main Event, The Hendon Mob Championship à 250€, un High Roller à 5000€ ou le the JP Poker Masters à 550€ permettront à chacun de s'amuser selon sa bankroll. Le Turbo Liam Flood Memorial à 250€ promet lui d'être explosif.

Le Brésilien Pablo Silva et Pavel Veksler ont remporté les éditions online organisées sur partypoker en 2020 et 2021, mais c'est Weijie Zheng qui reste le dernier à avoir triomphé en réel. Cet habitué des événements à Dublin (5 de ses 6 lignes ont été enregistrées en Irlande, ndlr) avait battu un field de 1807 participants pour capter la plus grosse part d'un prizepool de 1,8 million d'euros.
AU palmarès de ce tournoi prestigieux, on retrouve notamment Noel Furlong (1987 et 1989), Joe Beevers (2003), Neil Channing (2007), Ryan Mandara, Kevin Vandersmissen (2012), Griffin Benger (2017) ou encore Ian Simpson (2013) qui avait demandé sa copine en mariage une fois la dernière river tombée en sa faveur!
