CoinPoker Partners with Irish Poker Festival in Dublin

Cryptocurrency specialist online poker site CoinPoker has partnered with the Irish Poker Festival and will be the official and only place to qualify online for the €700,000 guaranteed main event, which has a €3,000 buy-in.

The Irish Poker Festival takes place at the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, beginning on Tuesday 29th October, until Sunday 3rd November. 

The Irish Poker Festival is run and managed by the same event team that runs the Irish Poker Tour, led by Fintan Gavin.This is just the second time that the event has been held, the first in 2023 was sponsored by Party Poker and featured the Party Poker Millions as its main event. 

The festival includes an event schedule with over 30 live poker tournaments, with buy-ins ranging from €150 to €3,000 and €1,000,000 in combined guarantees, although not all tournaments have guarantees. 

However, all event winners do receive trophies, massive trophies that will dominate your living room and could even be useful in fending off unwanted intruders.

The Irish Poker Festival has several well structured side events, in a variety of formats, with most buy-ins in the €250-€600 price range, although there are a few more costly tournaments to enter as well, such as the €2,500 Irish Omaha Championship and the €1,100 Irish Poker Championship. 

The festival opens with a €500 Mystery Bounty, which is one of four marquee events on the schedule (tournaments with more than one starting day). The others include the €3,000 Main Event, the €1,100 Irish Poker Championship and the €600 Dublin Cup.

Exclusive Irish Poker Festival satellites are already up and running on CoinPoker with $5,000 packages that include the €3,000 main event buy-in. 

Satellites can be found in the client under the ‘Tournaments’ or ‘Events’ tab, by selecting the ‘Live Events’ filter.

Direct satellite Finals costing $350 to enter run every Sunday at 20:30 BST from 4th August – 13th October. However there are various feeder satellites throughout the week which players can enter, as a cheaper way to take part. The daily Steps path begins with a freeroll and has $0.50, $5 and $50 entry points, which lead to the $350 Sunday Final.

All Qualifiers are also automatically entered into a CoinPoker Last Man Standing promotion, where the player who makes it furthest in the Main Event wins a VIP Package valued at Euro 1500 to the Galway Poker Festival in January, 2025.

If you would like to try and qualify for the Irish Poker Festival, but don't yet have an account use the CoinPoker promo code MAXBET during the registration process to claim a 100% deposit match up to USDT 1,100.

On the first day of the Irish Poker Festival, there will be a meet-up game with poker coach Alec Torelli. The Consciouspoker poker training site owner will be hosting €2/€5 No Limit Hold’em cash games, with a €200-€2,000 buy-in range. 

Alec will move tables every hour, to ensure he has a chance to win all the money! Actually its to ensure a good time is had by all…well, that’s the official reason ;)

He is also taking part as a speaker at the EDGE Poker Conference, which is running on the same dates as the Irish Poker Festival. 

The conference is a newcomer to the gaming conference circuit, is operated by Vibe Live, an event management company founded by former PokerStars Live Tour Manager Antonio Sapio.
