Each vote for top Irish poker players at www.theirishpokerawards.com is a free entry in contest awarding free seat in Europe’s largest live tournament
6th October 2010 (Dublin, Ireland) — Voting is now open for The Irish Poker Awards and one lucky visitor to www.theirishpokerawards.com will receive free entry to the International Poker Open, courtesy of BoylePoker.com. The awards, the winners of which will be decided by the public, will honour the top achievers on the Irish Poker scene at a ceremony at the Regency Hotel in Dublin on Sunday, 17th October, the culmination of a fantastic weekend of poker, with Europe’s largest live tournament, in terms of the size of the field, kicking off on Friday 15th.
With a buy-in of €200, Boyle Poker’s International Poker Open offers excellent structures and a massive prize pool for an affordable price. Last year’s event boasted the largest tournament field ever to be assembled outside of the United States, with 1,440 players, from 18 countries swelling the prize pool to $350,000.
All IPO players are welcome to join in the fun at the Irish Poker Awards and toast the best Ireland has to offer.
“The IPO is what poker is supposed to be about,” said The Voice of Poker Jesse May. “You get to be a part of the main event for the price of a satellite. Last year I had so much fun, I booked my ticket for next year well before level two! It’s such a great weekend, the only thing as much fun as still being in the tournament is being at the bar the day after you get knocked out! A great weekend full of great poker, great people, and plenty of stories at the bar.”
