The Irish Open 2024 Exceeds All Expectations!
A week before the event we spoke to JP McCann, one of the organizers of the event. It’s safe to say that The Irish Open is one of Europe’s key live events for poker players from all around the world, and is going by the title ‘oldest active event’ out there. Not only do poker players enjoy great poker action in Dublin, but the ‘craic’ is what describes The Irish Open at its finest.
JP McCann as a person, might just be a great reflection of what people can expect during the event from all the staff which is making the world the round in Dublin. Professionalism, kindness, and a great person to have some banter with.
In the article, you can find out all about The Irish Open 2024, including their newest addition called ‘PokerLens’, a tool which is made for poker players to let everything just go much more smooth at the event when it comes to registrations, waiting lists, and so on.
This year, the Main Event made previous records look like child’s play, as 3,233 entries were done across five opening flights.
Barny Boatman – New Ambassador of PokerStars
Earlier in March, Barny Boatman was revealed as the latest addition to the PokerStars Team. A great move of PokerStars, adding tons of experience to a young and dynamic team including players like Parket ‘Tonkaaaa’ Talbot, Lex ‘Raszi’ Veldhuis, Benjamin ‘Spraggy’ Spraggs, Fintan ‘EasyWithAces’ Hand, and Sam ‘SamSquid’ Grafton.
Barny Boatman, the winner of the most recent EPT Main Event in Paris, has been part of the poker industry for an eternity and made a name for himself, alongside his closest poker friends, by introducing The Hendon Mob. A webpage, where people from all over the world initially could follow a group of poker fanatics on their poker journeys.

Triton Poker Jeju Sets Records
A couple of weeks ago, the Triton Poker Series landed in Jeju, South Korea. The High Stakes community, led by iconic players such as Phil Ivey, Paul Phua, Tom Dwan, Patrik Antonius, and Fedor Holz, set several records in various tournaments. One of them, the $100K Main Event, goes into the history books as the biggest $100K event of all time.
One of the players who always attends high roller events as such is perhaps one of the players who always manages to reach far in tournaments, but somehow always gets stuck when the real money is being divided. He did, however, win a sit ‘n go tournament which was organized for a good cause.
Alexandra Botez- Chess Master and GGPoker Ambassador
Where PokerStars introduces Barny Boatman as their newest addition, it is GGPoker who sets the poker world check-mate by introducing Alexandra Botez as their newest GGPoker team member.
Conquering the chess world is one of her achievements, being an online streamer/influencer is another one, but to become successful in poker takes a lot of working hours! Will she manage to go in the footsteps of fellow team members such as Daniel Negreanu, Fedor Holz, or Kevin Martin?
