2024 Irish Poker Festival

The 2024 Irish Poker Festival is heading to the Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, and bringing with it �1 million in guaranteed prizes pools, helped by a �700,000 guaranteed Main Event. PokerNews' live reporting team will be on the ground throughout the �3,000 buy-in Main Event, from the moment the dealers pitch the first cards until the last player standing claims the Irish Poker Festival title.

October 29 is when the 2024 Irish Poker Festival kicks off, doing so with the LuxonPay-sponsored �500 No-Limit Hold'em Mystery Bounty event. At least �70,000 will be won from this opening tournament by the time the final hand is dealt.

PokerNews' coverage of the �3,000 buy-in, �700,000 guaranteed Main Event starts with Day 1A on October 30. Another flight runs on October 31, with the final two Day 1s starting and ending on November 1.

Blinds start at 100/100/100a, with ten levels scheduled on Day 1 and Day 2; late registration remains open until the end of the first Day 1 level; one re-entry is permitted during the late registration period.
