Ladbrokes Poker Hosts Ladybrokes Event to Irish Poker FestivalLadbrokes Poker turned into ‘Ladybrokes’ poker, when they recently hosted a ladies only event with the winner being awarded a prize package to the Irish Winter Festival.

The FreeRoll action was hot and heavy as these ladies went to war and when the smoke cleared, it was DEBZ_04 who bested the field of 420 and walked away with an Irish Festival package to Killarney, worth €1,200. All 10 final table players won, with the other nine receiving a £50 Champney’s gift card for their efforts.

Ladbrokes is so pleased by the turnout for the Ladies FreeRoll, they have more events on the drawing board. And for those who are curious as to what the lady Ladbrokes players think about the great game of poker, listen to their views by visiting the video blog page.

And if you want to meet DEBZ_04 in person at the Irish Winter Festival, you can get there via Ladbrokes Poker – just like she did! Download Ladbrokes Poker here on PokerWorks and use the use bonus code PWORKS to get an exclusive up to $1000 bonus! Then you will be ready to play and win your Irish Winter Festival prize package!

Last year every Irish Winter Festival event was a sell-out, setting a European record, with 832 players entering the Main Event. After three days of hot Hold’em action, it was a homeboy, Jimmy McSweeney who pocketed the €100,000 first place prize money. This year, the Main Event will have a €250,000 Guaranteed prize pool, with the action once again taking place at the Irish National Events Centre (INEC) in Killarney, Co Kerry, Ireland. Well known as the best poker venue in Europe, the INEC is right in the middle of the bustling hotel and leisure center which houses the famous Thai Angsana Spa. All of this and more will be right outside your door when you stay at the Gleneagle Hotel, which is included in your prize package!

The three day Irish Winter Festival will take place between the 2nd to 4th of October, but the €550 Main Event will just be one draw as there will be plenty of side events on the schedule as well. The side events include a two day €270+30 tournament Saturday 3rd October and a one day €150+20 tournament on Sunday 4th October.

Ladbrokes Poker has many satellite qualifiers running now that can get you to Ireland this fall with a €950 prize package that includes your €550 buy-in to the Main Event and three nights Bed & Breakfast (B&B) at the Gleneagle hotel.
