William Hill Poker – Bag Irish Winter Festival Qualifiers

The 2012 Irish Winter Festival is one of the most widely anticipated poker events of the UK season. It’s not surprising that this tournament is so eagerly awaited; the prize pool is estimated to be around €600,000! This is a live poker tournament, and you too could be playing live at the felt in Dublin if you play at William Hill poker. These Irish Winter Festival packages are each worth €1,800.

This year the tournament takes place in the Burlington hotel – a historic landmark. It starts on October the 27th and ends on the 29th. There is a Texas Hold ‘em main event that is a no limit event, and is sure to attract some of the biggest names in poker. Besides that, who could resist a visit to the Emerald Isle to play in a favourite game with potentially massive prize money.

In 2011 the event attracted a field of 395 players - John Keown exited victorious with a prize pot of €100,000.

Go all the way with William Hill and get in on some of this action. €1,800 is a pretty cool prize and will cover a good portion of expenses barring your bankroll of course. There are a whole host of satellite tournaments taking place at 7pm on Sundays at the site, and the prize includes:

· €1,000+€125 Irish Winter Festival Buy-in

· €316 for four nights of accommodation (B&B) at the Burlington Hotel

· €329 for flights and spending money

· €30 handling fees

Each satellite guarantees that there will be two winners and an extra package gets added for every €1,800 in the prize pool. The satellites are unfortunately not freerolls, they cost €130+€10 to enter, but just look at the size of the prize, and the potential for earning the big bucks when (and if) you get to the Winter Festival. There are ‘ticket-only’ satellites too, for players who don’t require travel costs or accommodation.
