Eoghan MacGabhann is an emerging poker player from Ireland who has transitioned from the local Irish club circuit to making headlines on the international stage in late 2025. He garnered significant attention in November 2025 for his dominant performance in the Philippines.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

According to The Hendon Mob, MacGabhann’s early career was defined by consistent low-to-mid stakes cashes in Ireland. However, his profile rose sharply in December 2025.

His breakout moment occurred at the RVS Cup Philippine Poker Championship in Manila. Competing in the PHP 10,000,000 GTD Main Event at the Metro Card Club, MacGabhann stormed to the Day 1A Chip Lead, bagging a massive stack of 89 big blinds and outpacing a field of regulars and pros. This performance marked him as a serious contender in the Asian poker scene.

Prior to this international trip, his resume included:

A victory at the International Poker Open (IPO) Dublin side event in 2023.
Regular cashes at the Irish Poker Festival and Galway Poker Festival.

And perhaps the best result so far, second place in the Manila Megastack 23 Main Event , which is also an outstanding achievement and brought in $61,400.

Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Dublin, Ireland, MacGabhann cut his teeth in the competitive Irish grassroots scene. He has been a regular at venues like the Dublin Poker Club and Fitzwilliam Card Club (before its closure), often grinding daily tournaments and weekend festivals.

His decision to travel to Asia in late 2025 demonstrates a willingness to expand his horizons and chase larger prize pools in softer fields outside of Europe.

Play Style & Strategy

MacGabhann’s play in the RVS Cup was described as commanding, where he utilized his big stack to apply pressure early in the tournament. His background in the “grinder” heavy fields of Dublin suggests he is well-versed in exploiting tight-passive players while capable of switching gears when holding the chip lead.
