Late Registration Closes
Niveau 16
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Late registration and re-entry for the Winamax Poker Open Dublin Main Event Day 1a is over, with 183 total entries of the course of 15 levels so far today.
It's difficult to compare to last year's Day 1a, as this year's tournament comes with an extra day of registration. It will be interesting, therefore, to see whether or not Day 1a and 1b combined surpass the 373 entries from Day 1a alone last year. On the basis of today, it shan't be difficult.

Tight at the Top
Niveau 18
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dominique Potenza has been among the chip leaders for a while now. He has also been opening from almost every position, and to a large amount each time.
He opened to 20,000 and fellow big stack Patrick Clarke gave it a lot of thought before three-betting to 65,000. Potenza quickly folded but gave Clarke an ear-bashing in rapid-fire French.
"I think I'm on my last warning," Clarke said.
The very next hand, undeterred by his tablemate's three-bet, Potenza opened to 30,000 and took down the pot.
"It's getting bigger!" remarked Alex Irwin.

Peter Jaksland Wins €1,500 High Roller for €31,635
Niveau 19
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Peter Jaksland has defeated Upeshka De Silva heads-up in the Winamax Poker Open €1,500 High Roller to take home the title and €31,635 in prize money. Coming into the final table as chip leader, he halted the runaway train of overnight chip leader De Silva to emerge victorius.
"I tried to play my own game at the final table," said Jaksland." I read when we were on the final table that he had two bracelets, so I kind of didn't want to let him know that I knew. I tried to stay calm and focus. I tried to adjust to his game a little bit.
Jaksland says that he's only ever played one 6-Max tournament previously, and says that perhaps he's found his "niche" in poker.
"I played one in Vegas and final tabled one that one as well, so it's a good run. But that was two years ago and this was the first one since. I also had my biggest score in Vegas this summer. I just try to play more poker; try to improve."
He now lives in Denmark and has transitioned into playing more poker after selling his business two years ago.
"I saw last week that the tournament was here, and I just decided to go."
That last-minute decision has paid off with a victory here in the €1,500 High Roller.
