Irish Open Poker Festival Kicks Off International Expansion in Sydney

The Irish Open, a staple of poker in Ireland since 1980, is embarking on an international expansion, starting with a major event in Sydney. The Irish Open Sydney will run for two weeks, feature 40 events, and pay out over A$2,000,000 in prize money. The festival will include a Ladies Event and a Seniors Event, catering to a wide range of players.

The Irish Open Sydney will be held at the Poker Palace, offering a variety of tournaments and exciting off-the-felt activities. The festival will also feature the famous Craic Den, offering games, contests, live music, and free-flowing beer and whiskey. This tradition, a staple of the Irish Open festivals in Dublin, will continue at the international festivals as well.

Following the Sydney event, the Irish Open will also be held in Marrakech and the United States in the coming months. The exact dates and venue for the U.S. event have not been disclosed yet. The Irish Open's international adventure starts with the Sydney festival, where players from all over the region and beyond are expected to join Irish Poker legends for two weeks of well-run poker action.
