Grab a pint, find your four leaf clover and that lucky rabbits foot, because this fall from October 1st through 3rd, Ladbrokes Poker’s Irish Poker Festival will be in full swing - and you will want to be there with your lucky charms in hand!

There is no question that Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and this fall, you can experience all the beauty of the Emerald Isle! Thanks to Ladbrokes poker you can be there for all of the exciting Irish Poker Festival festivities that will culminate into a fierce battle for cash in the €250,000 Guaranteed Main Event!

This tournament is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year and will be held once again in the prominent European venue known as the Irish National Events Centre in Killarney, Co Kerry, Ireland. And because the Irish National Events Centre is centrally located in the heart of a vivacious leisure and lodging complex where the well-known Thai Angsana Spa can also be found, you will have no problem enjoying your time away from the poker tables!

Don't miss your opportunity to be a part of the Irish festivities! Your ticket to this amazing event awaits you now at Ladbrokes Poker, where you can earn your online poker prize package to attend and play in the Irish Winter Festival. Plus when you win your trip to Ireland, you will join the other Ladbrokes Poker winners to stay at the fabulous Gleneagle Hotel located adjacent to the Irish National Events Centre - FREE!

This year marks the 3rd annual European festival and is shaping up to be bigger and better than even last year’s event that saw a total of 752 players taking their seats which generated a prize pool of €400,000.  When the dust settled last October, it was Englishman and Ladbrokes Poker player Thomas Rolfe who was left in the hot seat to claim the colossal €100,000 first prize.

This year, when October rolls around, all eyes will be on Ireland to see just who will emerge the winner in the three-day €550 No Limit Holdem Main Event that will once again guarantee a minimum €250,000 prize pool. In addition to the Main Event, The Irish Poker Festival will also include two action-packed side events. The first will be a two-day €270+30 tournament that will take place on Saturday October 3rd, followed by a one-day €150+20 tournament that will kick off on Sunday October 4th.  Ladbrokes Poker prize package winners will also have exclusive access to the Ladbrokes hospitality facilities, which feature a relaxing game room with pool and darts for a little down time between poker events.

One big change this year is being described as the recession busting value of the direct buy-in package; which includes the €550 buy in to the Main Event plus three nights of bed and breakfast at the Gleneagle hotel for only €900, which makes the Irish Poker Festival one of the most affordable events of the year! But don't let the direct buy-in scare you, your Irish Festival Package can be won for as little as €3+€0.30 when you play in a satellite qualifier at Ladbrokes Poker!

Let the luck of the Irish rub off on you - and you could be in Ireland this fall to win your own pot o’ gold! Just jump in one of the many satellite qualifiers going on now at Ladbrokes Poker that start at just €3+€0.30 and €5 to win a €950 prize package that will include your €550 Main Event buy-in and three night’s accommodation at the Gleneagle Hotel! Check out all of the satellite qualifiers running now at Ladbrokes Poker - the only poker room online that can send you to the Irish Poker Festival this fall!
