The 2022 Irish Open Online<\/strong><\/a> only has one event left needing a champion after Kazymyr Sholota<\/strong> and Sebastian Amaya<\/strong> won the 7-Max PKO and the 6-Max events, respectively. Only the Knockout Championship remains on the schedule and both these new champions definitely have the bankroll to buy into it and compete for a slice of the \u20ac250,000 guaranteed prize pool<\/strong>. You could be playing in it for as little as a cent, more on that shortly.<\/p>\n

Sholota Shines in the 7-Max PKO<\/h2>\n

A field of 303 players fought it out for a share of the \u20ac50,000 prize pool in the 7-Max PKO<\/strong> event and Ukraine’s Kazymyr Sholota<\/strong> outlasted them all to secure a \u20ac7,341 payday. Each of the seven players who navigated their way through the shark-infested waters in this \u20ac150 buy-in tournament saw their initial investment swell to more than \u20ac1,400 when bounties were included.<\/p>\n

Franz-Josef Kiekenbeck<\/strong> was the first of the seven finalists to bow out. Sebastian Amaya<\/strong>, who won the 6-Max event a day later, finished in sixth, with Jamie Giles<\/strong> and Victor Silva<\/strong> crashing out in fifth and fourth place, respectively.<\/p>\n

Heads-up was set when Austria’s Tomas Patka<\/strong> dusted off his stack; Patka collected \u20ac3,783 for his efforts. Sholota locked horns with Martin Christensen of Denmark and came out on top to add \u20ac3,471 in bounties to their \u20ac3,870 first-place prize, a combined score tipping the scales at \u20ac7,341. Christensen had to make do with a \u20ac4,457 consolation prize.<\/p>\n

Back-to-Back Amaya Final Tables Results in Victory<\/h2>\n

Sebastian Amaya<\/strong> made up for the disappointment of reaching the 7-Max PKO event’s final table but not winning by taking down the \u20ac250 buy-in 6-Max<\/strong> tournament a day later. Victory in the 6-Max came with an \u20ac8,960 score after he outlasted 213 opponents.<\/p>\n

Each of the finalists banked more than \u20ac1,700 for their time and effort. Kevin Killeen<\/strong> saw his tournament end abruptly in sixth place for \u20ac1,748. Killeen came close to matching his fellow countryman, Dan Wilson<\/strong><\/a>, in becoming an Irish champion of an Irish Open Online event.<\/p>\n

Finnish star Caimir Seire<\/strong> joined Killeen on the rail before the untimely demises of Nashid Hindocha<\/strong> and Mark Dyson<\/strong> left Amaya heads-up against Paul Hoefer<\/strong>. Amaya got the job done and his hands on \u20ac8,960, leaving Hoefer to walk away with the second-place prize of \u20ac6,238.<\/p>\n

Turn \u20ac0.01 Into One of 25x \u20ac320 Knockout Championship Seats<\/h2>\n

Event #07 of the 2022 Irish Open Online serves as the Main Event, and is a \u20ac350 buy-in Knockout Championship<\/strong> with a cool \u20ac250,000 guaranteed to be won. There are five Day 1s to choose from<\/strong> between April 8 and April 10 but perhaps more importantly there is a Knockout Championship Mega Sat<\/strong> running at 13:30 BST on April 10<\/strong> that has 25x \u20ac320 seats guaranteed.<\/p>\n

It is possible to buy into this Mega Sat for an affordable \u20ac55 but how amazing would it be if you turned a mere cent into a \u20ac320 ticket and a shot at a slice of a \u20ac250,000.<\/p>\n

Satellites for the Irish Open Online Knockout Championship are phased with players able to win their way into the first phase via our ever-popular centrolls<\/strong>. \u20ac1.10 is all it costs to enter Phase 1, which feeds into \u20ac11 buy-in Phase 2s, which in turn put you into the \u20ac55 Mega Satellite<\/strong> where at least 25x \u20ac320 seats will be won; will you get your hands on one?<\/p>\n

These are the dates and times of the Knockout Championship’s Day 1s, good luck!<\/p>\n
