Alright, let’s talk about looking into the Irish Open payouts. It’s something I’d been meaning to do, especially after hearing some buzz about the latest tournament. So, I finally sat down the other day to actually figure out how the prize money was split up.
First thing I did was just open up my browser. Nothing fancy, just started searching. Typed in things like “Irish Open prize money 2024” and “Irish Open final table payouts”. You get a lot of junk results initially, news headlines and stuff. Had to sift through that a bit.
I was really curious about the big numbers first. Who won and how much did they pocket? Found that info pretty quickly on a couple of poker news sites. Saw the winner’s massive score, always impressive to see those figures for a big European event.
But just knowing the winner’s prize isn’t the whole story, is it? I wanted to know more. How many players actually got paid? What was the minimum cash? That’s often more interesting to me, shows you how deep the structure goes.
So, I went back to searching. Tried adding terms like “full payout list” or “money bubble”. It took a bit more clicking around. Some sites only show the top few, which is annoying. Eventually, I stumbled upon what looked like a proper results page, maybe linked from a forum or a dedicated tournament reporting site, I can’t quite recall exactly where.
- I scrolled through this list.
- Found the total number of entries.
- Located the total prize pool figure.
- Then scanned down to see the lowest place that got paid.
It was quite a long list, actually. They paid a good chunk of the field, which is pretty standard for these big buy-in events nowadays. Seeing the min-cash amount always puts things in perspective. You battle for days, survive the bubble, and that’s your reward. Still better than nothing, I guess!
So yeah, that was my little dive into the Irish Open payouts. Didn’t involve playing, unfortunately, just digging through information online. Found what I was looking for in the end. It’s always interesting to see how these massive prize pools get distributed among the players who make it deep.
