2026 Irish Poker Open High Roller Schedule Spotlight

The 2026 Irish Poker Open is set to begin in two months’ time, and with live and online satellites running around the world, we are shining a spotlight on the full list of High Roller events scheduled for this year. This year’s fan favorite festival and the oldest poker event in Europe takes place from March 26th to April 4th at the Royal Dublin Society in Ballsbridge.

From the newly introduced Cuatro bounty format to €5Ks, Mixed Games, Seniors, Ladies, and a €10K Super High Roller, no matter what your bankroll or limits are, the Irish Poker Open should be at the top of your list every year.

Cuatro PLO & NLH High Rollers

Introduced at EPT Barcelona last year, PokerStars is bringing its new and exciting bounty format to the Irish Open. This new bounty format offers two bubbles: one at 25% of the field remaining when the bounties kick in, and the second when the main prize pool payouts commence. Each bounty is worth the total buy-in.

The first high roller event of the 2026 Irish Poker Open begins on Day 2 of the festival, Friday, March 27. Pot Limit Omaha is first up with the €3,000 Cuatro PLO High Roller 8-Max featuring unlimited re-entries. Players start with 50,000 chips and 40-minute levels on Day 1. Day 2 begins at 13:00 on March 28. There are two 5-seat GTD €650 Milestone satellites leading up to the event. The first is on Thursday, March 26, at 19:00, and the second is on Friday, March 27, at 13:00.

The No Limit Hold’em version starts on Sunday, March 29 at 14:00. The two-day event also carries a €3k buy-in with 50,000 chip starting stacks, 40-minute levels, and unlimited re-entries. A 5-seat GTD milestone satellite is scheduled for the same day at 13:00.

€5K PLO & NLH High Rollers

Following the Cuatro High Rollers are two back-to-back €5,000 High Roller events, offering both Pot Limit Omaha and No Limit Hold’em versions. Both events are two-day events featuring 8-max tables and unlimited re-entries. PLO is up first, beginning on March 30 at 14:00 with Day 2 on March 31. Day 1 of the NLH High Roller begins at 14:00 on March 31 with Day 2 on April 1.

Both events give players 50,000 starting stacks, 40-minute levels and have a €650 5-seat GTD satellite an hour before each Day 1 begins.

Mixed 8-Game Championship High Roller
