WPT Global sponsoring IPO for next three years
WPT Global doesn’t tread lightly. It doesn’t do half-measures. It doesn’t play small ball. The brand is a juggernaut in the poker world – a legacy operator with startup energy, a company that makes waves.
No clearer example of this is how WPT Global has aggressively gone after the Irish market, partnering with Jason Tompkins’ Action Poker Tour, Fintan Gavin’s Irish Poker Tour (IPT), and now by penning a three-year sponsorship deal with Nick O’Hara’s International Poker Open (IPO).
IPO Dublin will also dangle the prospect of a €100,000 check
Just a few days after it was announced that it would carry over its IPT Summer in Dublin €100,000
($116,000) promotion to the much-anticipated IPT Killarney, WPT Global has revealed that the IPO Dublin will also dangle the prospect of a €100,000 check, with a total of 20 online qualifiers eligible to win the bonus.
Small buy-in, big field
The IPO is one of Europe’s longest-running and most established poker events, and between October 21 and October 27, it will celebrate its 19th edition in Dublin’s Bonnington Hotel. Past winners include Ciaran Cooney, Jamie Cusack, Tom Brady, and last year’s champion, Vitalijs Polukejevs, who took home €34,630 ($40,295).
The concept has always been to provide the Irish poker community with a small buy-in, big field, well-structured event, bridging the gap between pub poker/casino nightly games and the mid-stakes poker circuit. O’Hara is particularly proud of how the event has survived and flourished in a more competitive marketplace.
Their loyalty makes me feel like I have done a good job.”
“On any given weekend, there are five or six poker festivals all around Europe, so it is a very special feeling when the same international players who have come here year after year call me up to book hotel rooms. Their loyalty makes me feel like I have done a good job.”
With poker expenses always going up, the poker rate at the Bonnington Hotel is always well below the going rate for Dublin hotels, something I know the players really appreciate.
Jam-packed schedule
The schedule is jam-packed, including a €550 ($640) High Roller and €1,100 ($1,280) buy-in €30,000 ($34,907) guaranteed Super High Roller, with O’Hara also squeezing in three new tournaments: a two-day €200 ($233) Seniors (50+) Event, a €200 8-Game tournament, and a €200 Omaha tournament.
The buy-in for the Main Event this year is €350 ($407) and for that, there is an anticipated field of over 1,000 runners. There will be six live Day 1 flights plus an online Day 1 for those looking to bag a stack prior to their arrival in Dublin. That will be played on WPT Global on August 31.
Satellites for the IPO will be on Sundays on WPT Global with super-satellites running ‘round the clock. According to WPT Global’s Irish marketing head Cameron Soane: “20 Golden Tickets will be available to be won via WPT Global satellites. If one of those Golden Ticket holders wins the IPO Main Event, WPT Global will award them an additional €100,000”.
If grassroots poker is your cup of tea, then the IPO Dublin is an absolute must-play!
