Irish Winter Festival of Poker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paddy Power Poker Irish Winter Festival of Poker is an annual poker festival that takes place in Dublin, Ireland. First organised in 2001, the festival is headlined by the Irish Masters main event, a Texas hold'em tournament, and typically takes place over the three days of the October bank holiday weekend.
From 2004 through 2007, the Irish Masters tournament served as the Dublin leg of the European Poker Tour.

The Irish Masters will have a buy-in of €1,500 + €150 registration, is a three-day event and has an estimated prizepool of €1,000,000. There will be two one-day side event tournaments, a €200 + €20 buy-in No Limit Hold’em rebuy tournament (with rebuys available for 90 minutes) on Sunday October 26th and a €500 + €50 buy-in No Limit Hold’em freezeout tournament on Monday October 27th.
