Irish Poker Festival Qualifiers Now Available Online

Betfair is the first online poker room to offer seats to the upcoming Irish Classic Poker Festival while BoyleSports and PaddyPowerPoker is set to begin offering seats soon. The tickets will be given for a seat to the main event of the seventh annual Irish Classic Poker Festival.

Betfair will offer one seat to the main event every Wednesday at nine o’clock London time. The satellites will start as low as $2.20 so anyone can afford to enter. The winners of the qualifiers will also be automatically entered into the Free Million Dollar Game free roll where one competitor will earn a seat to the Betfair sponsored World Series of Poker Europe. So the potential is there to win seats to two different events.

The Irish Classic Poker Festival is set to begin on August 10th and continue until the 16th at Cork’s Macau Sporting Club. The main event will be a $140,000 guaranteed no limit hold’em tournament with a buy-in of $1,551. This tournament will begin on August 13th and give players a starting chip stack of 15,000 with 75 minute blinds.
