A few eyebrows were raised when the Irish Poker Tour placed a €100,000 guarantee on the prize pool of a €100 buy-in event, not least because the €75+€25 buy-in meant 1,333 players needed to enter to avoid an overlay. Not only did the prize pool reach its guarantee, but the 1,927 entrants ensured it was surpassed by €38,745!

The money bubble finally popped during Day 2, with Shane Dempsey crashing out in 194th place, locking in a €250 min-cash for the surviving players. Dara O’Kearney, Nick Slade, and Stephane Blasques were among the in-the-money finishers.

Each of the nine finalists locked in €2,400 for their €100 investment, and it was Poland’s Konrad Milkiewicz who claimed that sum after busting in ninth place. A regular on the Irish Poker Tour, Milkiewicz recently cashed in the €700 Irish Poker Cup in Killarney for €3,700.

Brian Holland more than doubled his recorded live earnings with the €2,900 eighth-place prize money, with Belgium’s Yannick D’Heere’s first in-the-money finish since September 2022 being a seventh-place finish worth a career-best €3,500.

Sixth place and €4,320 went to Patrick Coulter, who was joined on the sidelines by Tomas Flanagan (€5,400), Dale Ryan (€6,700), and Shane Delaney (€9,000).

The heads-up duo of Mark Murphy and Joseph Ladniak were now guaranteed a five-figure sum. Ladniak fell at the final hurdle and banked €13,500, leaving Murphy to get his hands on the winner’s trophy and €22,000 in prize money, more than doubling his previous best live score.
