A few eyebrows were raised when the Irish Poker Tour decided to run a €100,000 guaranteed poker tournament that only cost €100 (€80+€20) to enter, and do so over the St. Patrick’s weekend celebrations. The tournament needed 1,250 entrants to hit the ambitious guarantee; had founder Fintan Gavin lost the plot?

It seems that Gavin knows his clientele because 1,771 poker enthusiasts turned out in force for the €100K for €100 event at Dublin’s Green Isle Hotel, creating a €136,722 prize pool, over a third more than the advertised guarantee. Bravo.

The crown jewel on the UKIPT Edinburgh schedule is the 1,100 Main Event, which eager poker fans can follow the action via the PokerNews Live Reporting pages.
