After a week where students hit the news headlines in Ireland, paddypowerpoker.com is offering some solace from the frenzy with the announcement of the Student Masters to be held at Dublin’s Jackpot Club on March 19, 2011.
The €100 + €10 buy in event will feature an Irish Open 2011 ticket worth €3,500 added to the prize pool for the winner and to qualify players need to hold a valid student ID card at the time of the event.
Students can qualify through a freeroll on the first Tuesday of each month with two tickets guaranteed. They can also secure a seat via a €10 freezeout each Monday or a €2 rebuy tournament each Thursday.
Alternatively, those with deeper pockets can buy in directly through the paddypowerpoker.com client for €110.
Paddy Power, communications manager at the site said, “I’m delighted to launch the paddypowerpoker.com Student Masters event and really look forward to this becoming a yearly tradition like our other poker events, the Irish Winter Festival and the Irish Open.”,
“Not only is this going to be a great student only poker event with a very sizeable prizepool of approximately €12,000, but the icing on the cake is that the winner will get to play in the Irish Open 2011 next April. This student will play against the worlds top poker professionals in Europe’s most prestigious poker event and they will battle it out for first prize in the region of €600,000 – now that is what most people would consider a life changing amount of money!”
