Exclusive Satellite Tournament for Europe's Oldest Poker Event


The Irish Poker Open 2011 is the second oldest poker tournament in the world, and it is coming up soon. The event will take place at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin from April 22 to 25, 2011. The buy-in for the main event is €3,200 + €300.

James Mitchell, a 20-year-old British player, won the previous edition of the Irish Poker Open, taking home a prize of €600,000. The tournament is highly regarded among professional players, and winning it is considered a significant achievement in a poker career.

A satellite tournament is being held to qualify players for the Irish Poker Open 2011. The satellite tournament will take place on March 24, 2011, at 22:00 CET on 888poker. The buy-in for the satellite tournament is $3.30, and it is named EducaPoker Irish Open Qualifier. The prize for the winner includes a €3,500 buy-in for the main event, 5 nights at The Burlington Hotel, $1,500 for travel and expenses, a Sony Bloggie camera, and an invitation to the 888poker VIP event.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
