Hi Carl,

Part of what makes the Irish Poker Open stand out from other poker festivals is the nightly entertainment.

You'll be happy to know all the old classics will be back with a few new ones

Jp

Thats true!

Thanks, i am happy and just booked the flights for me, my wife and daughter.
They are both not big fans of poker, but big fans of Ireland, so this is the only pokerstopp i always were forced by them to play for a package

See you there

Did you bring your wife and daughter with you last year?
German right?

Yes.
You remember?
I asked if my daughter could also come to the Irish Evening in the Pub at the first day, and it was possible because not all player wanted to attend.
We were sitting on front of the 3rd table with our new friends (ok, we were strangers when we first met in the bus, but friends after this great evening ) from Belfast.

It was a great night alright.

The ones who didn't come certainly missed out on a great night.

See you in a few weeks.

Hi,
What is the cash game rake?
Fees for credit card buyins?
Fees for debit card buyins?

Thanks

Hello! I'm new on the forum, so sorry if I write not there. I'm from Belarus, won a Main event ticket for € 1150 but can't go. If someone has a desire to play, is willing to sell a ticket cheaper than face value. If necessary, provide a screen story or even any evidence. Please write

Hi David,

1: Rake 5% capped at €12

2: 3% charge for credit card buy-in's. However players can buy-in through Billetto on our website. Billetto have a flat charge of €8.99 per transaction.

3: No Fee for debit card buy-ins.

Are you sure you're allowed to sell it? If so I might buy it at a cheaper price.

Thanks for that, can you also tell me the buyin options for the party £550/£5300 tourneys? Party account? Should I bring GBP cash?

Hi! Yes, support agreed. But I have already transferred their right to participate in this time) if anything changes, I'll let you know

Hi David,

Yes you can buy-in through your partypoker account and pay in cash at the event in either £'s or €'s.

Here's a little something we put together

Can the partypoker and other online Main Event winners play the nightly live satellites and transfer the second seat if they win?

What is the link again for the structure sheets for each event, such as "ROE"?

Hi Nash,

Yes if you already have a Main Event seat and win a 2nd seat in the live satellites in City West you can take the cash.

thank you

The Mini Irish Open with a scheduled 2pm start time today has been delayed until 4pm.

This is due to the large numbers of players returning for Day 2 in the main event.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

The start time of E25 Liam Flood Memorial 6 Max Turbo has been delayed until 3pm.

Apologies

I got back yesterday from the first part of this festival - the Irish Open part (the second week revolves around Norwegian championships). It was a really great event.

The Irish Open was THE poker event of Europe a few years ago, until Paddy Power decided to stop sponsoring it.

After a few quieter years it is really gaining steam again, thanks to massive work from JP and the rest of the team. The main event had a record number of entries (well over 1000), and as always from this tournament team, everything was run very professionally. At the same time, the craic was fantastic - I don't think I have seen so many people having so much fun at 3am before.

It is amazing for an event of this size and complexity that JP answered every one of our silly questions about the events beforehand, and also managed to be at the heart of the Beer Pong fun in the small hours. (If you don't know what Beer Pong is, come along next year and find out).

Thanks very much for the kind words. We are delighted with the success of the event. I'm very happy that you enjoyed your experience this year and hope you can make it back next year.
