The third day of the €100K for €100 Festival got underway at the Green Isle Hotel, Dublin, with the poker room alive with energy and anticipation. Taking place the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, the festival coincided with a busy weekend for Irish sports fans, as Ireland was battling it out in the Six Nations. The stage was perfectly set for another action-packed day of poker.

The day began with €100K for €100 Main Event Day 1E, where 243 entries battled for a spot in the final. With roars coming from the bar as players took breaks to watch the rugby, 24 players made it through to the next stage. From this flight it was Eduardo Wohlke, who bagged up the biggest stack with 645,000.

Next up was the Saturday Omaha 250 which attracted 29 players creating a prize pool of €7,500. Yet again Omaha regular Zeik Tuit was unable to make it through to the final stages, as well as last night’s winner of the Omaha, Mark Buckley. When it got down to the final table, a prize pool adjustment was agreed upon meaning fourth place would also receive a payout. Dennis Mendonca finished in fourth place, taking home €400. Dylon Melly secured third place with €1,400, while Zula Zula came in second, winning €2,000. The victory went to Aleksandras Nagreckis, who claimed the top prize of €3,400, and was very happy to secure his first IPT trophy.
