In addition to our online business, we run two big live events a year.  The Irish Open, which takes place every Easter weekend, is Europe’s largest and oldest poker tournament (since 1981).  Past visitors to the event include Doyle Brunson, Dan Harrington, Mike Sexton, Jamie Gold, Kara Scott, Carlos Mortensen, David Benyamine and Dario Minieri, whilst in recent years we had an influx of online superstars, such as Brian 'sbrugby' Townsend, Mike ‘Timex’ McDonald, Isaac ‘westmenloAA’ Baron, Jimmy ‘Gobboboy’ Fricke and Sorel ‘Imper1um’ Mizzi. 

 

More recently we have introduced the Irish Winter Festival as a more affordable alternative to our flagship event. This festival takes place in late October and features a €1,650 Main Event (the 'Irish Masters') and a number of side events.

 

Our 'Sole Survivor' online qualifier promotions for each of our live festivals are very popular; the concept is quite simple, qualify for the event with paddypowerpoker.com, outlast the other Sole Survivor participants and win the prize package - €100,000 for the Irish Open Sole Survivor and €20,000 for the Irish Winter Festival Sole Survivor!

 

The Paddy Power Poker motto is ‘More Power To Your Poker’; we try to introduce a uniquely-Irish element of fun (also known as ‘craic’) into all of our promotions and marketing efforts.
