How a mystery bounty differs

In a mystery bounty event part of each entry fee goes into a bounty pool instead of the main prize pool. Knock a player out after bounties go live and you draw an envelope or a digital equivalent whose value is unknown until you open it, with one or two very large amounts seeded among many small ones. The practical effect is that a deep run is worth less relative to the top of the field than in a standard tournament, and that the middle stages reward taking a confrontation you would otherwise fold.

The organiser had not published the bounty denominations or the point at which bounties activate when we read its schedule page, and both figures change the right way to play the event, so they are worth checking before you sit down.

Its place in the festival

This event opens the 2027 festival on its first day and is one of only two tournaments on the 48-event schedule with a seven-figure guarantee, the other being the Main Event. Its buy-in matches the Main Event's at 1,150 euro.

Where the figures come from

Two independent reports published in October 2026 give the same dates, buy-in and guarantee. The Irish Open's own schedule page confirms the festival window but had not yet published the 2027 event grid when we read it, so this record will be re-read against the organiser's page once that appears.
