International Poker Open Begins TodayWill Title Remain On Home Soil This Year In Europe's Largest Live Poker Event? |
|
The 2011 Boylepoker €200 + €25 buy-in International Poker Open begins today, Oct. 21, in Dublin’s Regency Hotel. Europe’s largest live poker tournament as usual has two starting days and will play down to a final table on day 2, Oct. 23.
This year there is a twist however as there will be a pause before the final table plays out. The players and indeed poker fans must wait until Nov. 26 to find out who this year’s champion is. The final table will be streamed exclusively at Boylepoker.com.
This year players will sit down to an increased starting stack of 15,000 and 40-minute levels until the second break. Blinds will then increase every hour on day two.
Last year, the title returned home when Irishman John Gray beat 1,292 hopefuls to take the top prize of €50,600 from a total prize pool of €252,740, which included €20,000 added by the site.
