Irish Open Moves to Marrakech: 36 Events and Live Stream

The Irish Open poker festival is leaving Dublin for the first time in its 46-year history. The festival's second international stop will take place from November 10 to 15 at the Casino de Marrakech in Morocco.

The six-day event features 36 tournaments. Buy-ins range from about 140 euros to 3,000 euros. The festival's main event will be played for a 1,155 euro buy-in and will consist of four starting flights. A guaranteed prize pool of 500,000 euros has been announced for the tournament.

In April, the Irish Open announced an international tour covering Sydney, Marrakech and the United States. The Sydney stop will take place in September, while the first US event is planned for 2027.

Organizer JP McCann said the goal of taking the festival global has been on the table for more than a decade. The team aims to grow the brand further by the festival's 50th anniversary in 2030.

The main event will start at noon on Wednesday, November 11. Players will begin with 50,000 chips. The tournament is expected to reach its second day on Sunday, November 15.
