Paddy Power Poker Irish Open Satellites

February 16, 2009

Weekly Irish Open Ticket-Only satellites are now running every Thursday evening at 8.05pm, with at least two tickets won each week. Irish Open main event tickets are awarded for every $4,700 in the prizepool. Feeder satellites run daily and buy-ins start from just $2.20.

"Our ticket-only super satellites to the Irish Open are always popular and there has been particularly strong demand from players this year" said Eric Booth, Head of Poker for Paddy Power Poker. "Adding ticket-only sats to the existing Irish Open qualification schedule gives players more options with regards getting to Dublin in April, and since ticket-only qualifiers are also eligible to participate in the €100,000 Sole Survivor promotion, it is no surprise that these satellites are a great success!"

There will be an expanded schedule of ticket-only satellites in the final weeks running up to the hugely anticipated event, the highlight of the Irish poker calendar.

Additionally, the number of Irish Open packages awarded in the existing Sunday and Tuesday satellites has increased significantly in recent weeks - all the world and his uncle are trying to get to Dublin this April!

If you've ever been to the Irish Open in Dublin and spent a few minutes at the bar, you will understand why the organisers pride themselves on the famous atmosphere that Europe's longest running poker tournament is known for.
