Searching for Easter eggs is going to seem like small change in comparison to the prize you could be winning this Easter Weekend thanks to Unibet Poker Irish Open Packages.
The Irish Open will be running From April 22nd to 25th and all members of the Unibet Poker online poker community have the chance of representing at the world class event with a package worth €5,500. The Main Event is bigger than ever this year with starting stacks of 20,000 chips, and that’s exactly what the Unibet Poker package will get you, plus of course spending and travelling money and 5 nights’ accommodation in the luxurious Burlington Hotel in Dublin.
In order to win one of these €5,500 Unibet Poker packages members of the online poker community need to be amongst the winners of an Irish Open Monthly Final. The Irish Open Monthly Finals will be running on January 30th, February 27th, and March 27th, have a buy-in of €700 + €50 and each tournament guarantees two packages.
Qualifying for that monthly final however could start with daily satellites with buy-ins of just €2.75 + €0.25. These daily satellites lead into the €16.50 + €1.50 Irish Open Daily Finals which in turn lead into the Irish Open Weekly Finals which are played every Saturday and have a direct buy-in of €100 + €10. It is these weekly finals that lead into those package producing monthly finals.
If you’re thinking that it might be a little bleak in Ireland in April, and that you’re a member of the ONLINE poker community for reason, here’s something to consider: the Irish Open is the longest running Texas Hold’em live event tournament in Europe. Last year 708 players played in the Main Event including footballer Teddy Sheringham, and Rugby Player Reggie Corrigan. The Main Event was won by James Mitchell of England; just 20 years old at the time, he walked away with the first place prize of €600,000!
