Betfair Poker Live Season 2 - 1st leg Dublin Sept.23rd-25th

[teaulc]

The second season of Betfair Poker Live has been announced, with dates in Ireland, UK, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The structures and buy-ins have been tweaked this year to appeal to more recreational players, so you can expect some really loose action and a great excuse for a weekend away. This season will take in visits to Dublin, Costa Brava, London and Prague. Qualification for the tour will be exclusively on Betfair Poker and there are tournaments to suit all wallets including qualification via free rolls. Players will also have the ability to buy into the tour directly via their Betfair accounts. Asko Heiskanen, Global Poker Marketing Manager said, “The Betfair Poker Live Tour has picked the perfect venue in Dublin to kick off the 2011 Betfair Poker LIVE! Tour. We have great poker, with a unique twist in the form of our eliminator structure and players will also be able to enjoy the magical city of Dublin, where we are hoping to play a round of golf or catch some of the Solheim Cup live!”

Join Team Betfair on the ‘Emerald Isle’ this September for the latest addition to the Betfair Poker LIVE! map - Dublin.

Taking place between 23rd - 25th September at the Fitzwilliam Casino and Card Club, qualifiers to Betfair Poker LIVE! Dublin will be able to compete in a selection of tournaments and cash games to suit all bankrolls as well as enjoy the sights and sounds of Dublin and perhaps enjoy a pint or two of the Black Stuff. For the first time in the history of Betfair Poker LIVE! the $600 + $50 Main Main Event will be played in a bounty format with $500 going towards the tournament prizepool and the remaining $100 placed as a bounty on all players head's which is awarded to whoever eliminates them from the tournament.
