2016 Irish Open Commences On Monday, March 21 with First of 32 Events

The 2016 Irish Open poker festival has arrived and everything points to it being one of the best yet. With 32 events scheduled from March 21-28, including pot-limit Omaha, no-limit hold'em, Irish poker, heads-up, and six-max events, there is certainly something for everyone.

Now in its 25th year, the Irish Open is the longest running poker festival in Europe and trails only the World Series of Poker in terms of global longevity. In recent years, the Irish Open has been a Paddy Power-sponsored event, but this is the first edition under new management and the team hopes to see huge fields competing in every tournament, especially the €500,000 guaranteed Main Event.
