The Irish Poker Open 2026 experienced an intense day this Tuesday in Dublin
In the €350 NLH 6-Max Championship, Georgopoulos prevailed over a massive field of 865 entries to take the first prize of €45.700 from a total prize pool of €260.106. In the final heads-up, he managed to reverse a considerable disadvantage against Jonas Heuser
With more than 2.100.000 chips in the middle, both players invested 2.000.000 on the turn and, after a decisive card on the river, Georgopoulos bet 1.000.000. Heuser responded with an all-in for 8.150.000 and received an instant call. The German showed a seven-high straight, but the Greek had a better eight-high straight, ending the tournament after a vibrant final heads-up.
The podium was completed by Arian Hassankashani
For its part, the €5.000 PLO High Roller had an express resolution. Somodi needed just eleven hands -and only three in the heads-up- to eliminate the last four players in the money and take the title and his share of the €124.403 prize pool generated by 27 entries.
