Paddypowerpoker.com today announced Citywest Hotel as the venue for the €3 million-guaranteed Irish Open. The week-long festival of poker will take place over Easter from Mar. 19-24, 2008.
Europe's longest-running poker tournament has relocated to Ireland's premier conference, leisure, and golf resort to accommodate an increased capacity of 1,000 players.
"Citywest Hotel is the ideal location for the 2008 Irish Open," said Paddy Power, communications manager for the 
company. "We searched the length and breadth of the country to find a venue that could provide players with the famous atmosphere and communal spirit of the Irish Open whilst still being big enough to accommodate the huge field. In Citywest, we found the perfect home. With two magnificent golf courses and world-class facilities, Citywest will be the only place to play poker next Easter!"
The main event is a €4,200 buy-in (with €300 entry fee) no-limit hold'em tournament with capacity for 1,000 players.
With 1,314 rooms, bars, restaurants, a state of the art health and leisure club, and two Christy O'Connor Jr.-designed golf courses, Citywest is one of the most popular event destinations in Europe. Located only 20 kilometers from Dublin airport, and 15 kilometers from Dublin City Centre, it is easily accessible for both local and international players.
Online registration is now available at www.irishpokeropen.com, and a packed schedule of online satellites is already underway, which consists of daily feeders and fortnightly grand finals.
