Please tell every poker player you know about this tournament. The idea behind the International Poker Open is to really put Irish and European poker on the map and to offer players a professional structure and service, a massive prize-pool and a great all round tournament for a reasonably small buy-in. Nothing like this has ever been done before in poker, anywhere.
