Paddy Power Irish Poker Open

One of the most prestigious live poker events in the United Kingdom is no doubt held in Dublin each year and is better known as The Irish Poker Open or IPO if you prefer buzzwords. Last year saw the winner, Patrick Clarke walk away with a cool quarter of a million euros and secured his seat via a satellite for a paltry four euros. This year is certainly not going to be disappointing, with an increased buy-in of €3500 and expecting an even bigger turn out to this now internationally recognised poker event, there will be some amazing poker including bad beats and dreams made into reality.

The 2018 Irish Poker Open will be held in the heart of Dublin at the Double Tree Hotel which is run by the prestigious Hilton Hotel chain and set in beautiful surroundings which players can enjoy when not sat at the tables. The tournament will attract some famous poker faces as it always does all competing for the coveted title of the winner of the Paddy Poker Irish Open 2015 and with the first place prize money being a life changing amount there will be a lot of players holding onto their four leaf lucky clover or lucky charm and saying to themselves “Just one time!” Of course as they say, “You have to be in it to win it!” so like last year’s champion you can aim to qualify through satellites or simply buy straight in and take part in one of the UK’s most exciting and now famous poker tournaments.
