With this being a Bank Holiday weekend in the United Kingdom, there may be plenty of people looking to get away and have some fun. There are plenty of different options available to people but there is no doubt that Dublin is able to offer a lot of benefits to folk. It is not too far away and there is always a big party atmosphere going on in the city. There is plenty of history and stunning views to take in too so no matter what element of Dublin you want to focus on, it will be there for you.
There is also a lot to be said for heading to Dublin this weekend if you love poker. There are regular poker tournaments and events taking place in Dublin, you would think that the organisers of these events are trying to suggest that the good folk of Dublin and the people who visit it love to party! There is a real chance to have a poker party this weekend and who knows, you could find yourself being able to pick up a cash prize that will more than pay for the weekend.
You can party and play poker in Dublin
The Citywest International Events Centre is the place to be this weekend as this is the host for the IrishEyesBet.com Legends Poker Cup. The title may be a bit of a mouth-full but the weekend of poker action is sure to be a smash hit. The main focus is going to be a €150 buy-in No Limit Hold ‘Em event and there will likely be plenty of players getting involved with the event. The nature of this event is a re-entry and accumulator style, which means that there will be a lot of jostling and action before the Day 2 event starts properly on Saturday.
Day 1A of the Main Event started at 7pm on Thursday the 23rd of May and there was an early start to the action on Friday the 24th of May. This is because Day 1B and Day 1C was taking place on Friday, with the first event starting at 10am. If this sounds like being far too early for you to get your poker magic flowing, the 7pm start for Day 1C may be the better event for you.
While Saturday sees the Day 2 event start at 7pm, there is one final chance to play your way to success in the morning because Day 1D begins at 10am.
The Grand Final of the weekend starts on Sunday the 26th of May at 1pm; so again, it may be an earlier start for some poker players than what they would hope for. There may be some poker players avoiding the allure of Dublin on a Saturday night but there are also likely to be some poker players heading into the Grand Final with a bit of a sore head on Sunday lunchtime!
The organisers are hoping that the prize pool for the event will reach €250,000 which would be an impressive return for an event that has such an affordable buy-in.
