The Ladbrokes.com Irish Poker Festival will be held once again at the best poker venue in Europe, the Irish National Events Centre (INEC) in Killarney, Co Kerry, Ireland. The INEC is at the heart of a vibrant hotel and leisure complex, which includes the famous Thai Angsana Spa. Ladbrokes online package winners will be staying at the Gleneagle Hotel which is adjacent to the INEC.
This is the 3rd year of Europe’s best value everyman tournament and last year 752 players showed up to battle for the 100k first prize. Englishman and Ladbrokes player Thomas Rolfe took down the 1st prize and the honours list reads Ireland 1 and England 1 so far. 2010 will be absolutely mega with players from all over Europe already booking flights and planning the trip to the home of Irish poker, Killarney.
This year, the three day Festival will be held from the 1st to 3rd October and the €550 Main
Event will once again guarantee all players a whopping €250,000 guaranteed prizepool.
Players will start with 15,000 chips, one hour blinds and will earn European ranking points.
We have only one major difference this year and that is the recession busting value of the package. The 2010 event package has everything you expect for €900. This includes the €550 buy in to the Main Event and 3 nights B&B at the Gleneagle hotel.
The Festival also includes two side tournaments, a two day €270+30 tournament Saturday 2nd October and a one day €150+20 tournament on Sunday 3rd October. You will also have exclusive access to the Ladbrokes hospitality facilities. Here you will find a games room with pool and darts to help you relax in between all the poker action.
In addition to the poker, the host town of Killarney is synonymous with Irish hospitality offering a great range of night-life associated with Irish music and having the craic! If you have not been to Killarney before, flights from Stansted and Luton to Kerry (KIR) are currently available for as little as £25 each way plus taxes but check online for all the latest offers.
