One of the most popular live poker tournaments in the world is the Irish Open, the longest-running live event behind the World Series of Poker.

Colette Doherty triumphed in the first Irish Open in 1980 after a deal with Terry Rogers. Doherty won the title again in 1991 and is only one of five players to have won two Irish Open Main Events.
