It took me four attempts but I finally managed to find a bag in the Main Event this year, short but not super short. No regrets though: just the right move at the wrong time Last year we ran our first Chip Race event there, a mystery bounty, which is a format I have spent a lot of time investigating for my latest book, Mystery Bounty Poker Strategy.
It was the first multi-day event I played back in 2008 and I look forward to it every year. From its inception, it’s been the biggest grassroots poker festival in the country.
The International Poker Open (IPO) is generally known as the people’s festival in Ireland.
