At a glance
Event: NLH High Roller 8-Max (Event #24) Dates: 23-24 March 2027 Venue: Royal Dublin Society, Dublin Buy-in: 5,000 euro Table size: eight-handed Guarantee: none advertised Series: Irish Poker Open 2027
What to expect
This and the 5,000 euro pot-limit Omaha High Roller are the festival's top buy-in tier. No guarantee is advertised, which is normal at this level: a high roller's prize pool is simply what the entries make it, and the field is usually counted in dozens rather than hundreds. Eight-handed tables sit between a full ring game and the six-max format used elsewhere on the schedule, so stacks play a little deeper in relation to the blinds than they would six-handed.
It falls in the middle of the festival, overlapping the Main Event's later days, which is a deliberate pattern: players knocked out of the Main Event have somewhere to go.
Where the figures come from
The event number, dates, buy-in and format come from a trade report of the 48-event schedule published in October 2026; a second independent report confirms the festival window and the venue. The organiser's own schedule page had not published the 2027 grid when we read it, so the structure and the registration window are not confirmed here.

Frequently asked questions
What is the buy-in for the Irish Open High Roller 2027?
5,000 euro, which it shares with the pot-limit Omaha High Roller as the festival's highest.
When does it run?
23 to 24 March 2027, at the Royal Dublin Society in Dublin.
Is there a guaranteed prize pool?
No guarantee is advertised. The prize pool is whatever the entries create, which is usual for a high roller.
What does 8-Max mean?
Tables are capped at eight players rather than the nine or ten of a full ring game, which makes play a little faster and stacks effectively deeper against the blinds.
