"Many players have already made plans to get to Dublin for the October Bank Holiday weekend, so we're happy to be able to release full details on the festival schedule", said Eric Booth, Head of Poker at paddypowerpoker.com. "I'm particularly excited about our new Round-Of-Each freezeout, a tournament which many players have hoped for. We've done our best to make the Irish Winter Festival a must-attend' festival for both local and international players; it's gonna be great!"
Weekly super satellites to the Irish Masters run on paddypowerpoker.com each Sunday ($200 + $15 freezeout) and Tuesday ($50 + $5 rebuy) evening at 10pm, with a variety of feeders running daily. The Irish Winter Festival packages to be won at the super satellites are made up of an Irish Masters ticket plus accommodation and expenses.
Prepare for the IWF Sole Survivor!
The Sole Survivor qualifier promotion was successfully introduced at the Irish Open 2009 where Marcel Koch won a 100,000 package. Similarly, the paddypowerpoker.com online qualifier that lasts the longest in the Irish Masters main event at the Irish Winter Festival will win a 20,000 package in addition to whatever prize money they win in the tournament.
"The Sole Survivor promotion really spiced up this year's Irish Open", said Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com. "We are thrilled to launch the IWF Sole Survivor and put up €20,000 for our players to chase. It's never too early to grab your seat and stake your claim as our next Sole Survivor!"
