If you are a Poker player then the Irish Open 2010 is a must for you but don’t let the entry fee of €3200+€300 put you off as Paddy Power are offering many opportunities to get in for much smaller stakes or even for free. The Irish Open is a No Limit Texas Hold’em event, first organised in 1981 and is now the longest running tournament in Europe; only the WSOP in America has been running longer. It is being held this year in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin from April 2nd to 5th and satellites qualifiers are starting very soon. This year again Paddy Power have decided to run their €100,000 Sole Survivor event in which all Paddy Power qualifiers are entitled to participate with the one outlasting all the others winning the €100,000 package.
If you want to get in for free, the freeroll tournaments are daily on Saturday through Thursday at 19:30 and 21:30 with a special on Friday at 20:00. On Mondays at 20:00 there are $10 Rebuy Super Satellites with each one guaranteeing an Irish Open seat and if you have a little more cash available there are €175+€13 freezeout tournaments on Sundays and Thursdays with the Sunday tournament offering a package that includes an Open ticket but for those who really are serious players, on March 21st at 19:30 there are a guaranteed 20 seats up for grabs in a €300 +€20 freezeout tournament.
If you do not happen to play your poker with Paddy Power, they would like you to do so and are offering a sign up bonus worth up to $600 so what better way to get into the top poker tournament in Europe. Sign up here to Paddy Power and the best of luck.
