Punch Your Dublin Ticket With PokerStars Ontario
With the festival celebrating its 45th anniversary, organizers are pulling all the stops to make the 2025 Irish Poker Open the one to remember and attract as many players as possible, and PokerStars Ontario is doing its part.
Every day, starting at 19:05, the operator will host a $100 Irish Open Main Event satellite featuring at least one package worth $2,500 (CAD 3,500). This covers the Main Event buy-in and leaves a nice chunk of change to cover travel expenses.
There are also $10 feeder events, awarding seats to the main satellite for every $100 in the prize pool, with two seats guaranteed. This provides opportunities even for players with smaller bankrolls to try and punch their tickets to the April festival.
The Main Event features a massive €2,500,000 guarantee and it stands to attract a rather colorful crowd consisting of casual fans of the game, PokerStars ambassadors, and serious mid-stakes grinders always looking for value.
A Mix of Poker Excitement & Tradition
Irish Poker Open is one of those live festivals that are certainly worth visiting. It started way back in 1980, making this year its 45th anniversary, and solidifying its place as the longest-running poker event outside of Las Vegas.
It never fails to create big prizes and a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone, and players walk away with smiles on their faces and many stories to tell that go well beyond bad beats and tournament recaps.
To celebrate this big anniversary in style, this year’s Irish Poker Open will be the biggest ever in every aspect, looking to break the last year’s record. The festival encompasses 12 full days of play, the Main Event guarantee has been bumped to €2.5 million from the usual €1 million, and there is a rich schedule of surrounding tournaments to keep players busy and entertained.
For example, both the festival opening €1,150 Mystery Bounty event and the €250 Mini Irish Open come with big guarantees of €1,000,000.
There will be many off-the-felt activities available during the festival as well, and for those visiting Ireland for the first time, there is a lot to explore if you find some time to pull yourself away from the tables for a few hours.
You could be a part of this legendary festival of poker for just $100 (or even less) thanks to daily satellites at PokerStars Ontario. There is plenty of time left to qualify, so head over to the tables and get on the grind to secure yourself a poker trip of a lifetime!
