Satellites are now available for Europe’s largest poker tournament
Boylepoker.com today launches online satellites for the International Poker Open 2009. From today, players can qualify for the $25,000 added, $225 + $25 buy in event from just $5.
Feeder satellites take place each week on Monday and Wednesday at 8.30PM for $5 + $.50 with one re-buy or one add-on. For every $27.50 generated in the prize pool a ticket will be awarded to the weekly super satellite, the $25 + $2.50 freezeout, each Friday at 8.30PM with one ticket awarded to the IPO for evey $250 in the prize pool.
The IPO 2009 is Europe’s largest poker tournament with capacity for 1,300 players. It takes place from October 16 to 18 at the Regency Hotel, Dublin. With registration open just two weeks over 225 players have already signed up for the event.
This year Boylepoker.com has added a unique twist to the event by giving players the opportunity to sit down at the start of play with an extra 2,000 starting chips. To claim these extra chips all players need to do is play online at Boylepoker and accumulate VIP Club Points during the months of August and September.
Players who earn 250 VIP Club points in August get 1,000 chips, and 250 VIP Club Points earned in September gives them another 1,000 chips. These extra chips will then be added to their starting stack at the tournament.
In 2008 the Boylepoker.com IPO set a new world record for the largest ever poker field outside of the USA, with a massive turn-out of 1,300 players. It was Irishman Ruairi Coy who came up trumps to take home the €37,530 first prize from a total prize pool of €205,000, of which €32,000 was added by Boylepoker.com.
To register for the tournament simply download the Boylepoker.com software, open the Poker Lobby, go to ‘Scheduled Tournaments’> ‘Specials’> ‘Boylepoker Exclusives’ and choose your preferred start date. Registration is due to close on October 15 so players should register early to avoid disappointment as last year’s event sold out long before the closing date. No cash entries will be accepted on the day.
