EPT12 Dublin schedule released
See ept.com for full details. The EPT is heading back to the Irish capital for the first time in eight years with a 12-day extravaganza at the Royal Dublin Society in Ballsbridge, a fantastic venue which is just five minutes away from the action-packed heart of the city centre. The EPT 12 Dublin Poker Festival will feature 64 events, running February 9-20, 2016.
As well as the €5,300 EPT Dublin Main Event and €1,100 UKIPT Main Event, the event will include the flagship €25k High Roller, a one-day €10k High Roller, and a regular €10k High Roller event at the tail end of the festival. With space at a premium at the RDS, the two 1a and 1b start flights for the UKIPT Main Event will be kicking off at 10am but resuming a noon start time from Day 2 onwards.
A special Juniors tourney for players aged 18-21, last hosted at the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo®Casino EPT11 Grand Final, is back on the schedule with a €100 version bound to appeal to Dublin's large poker-loving student population. Other highlights will include a €150 buy-in charity event to raise funds for the EPT’s official charity partner Right To Play plus a €5k NL event right at the start of the festival.
The last EPT Dublin winner was American Reuben Peters who beat Annette Obrestad heads-up for a €532,620 first prize in Season 4. The other three Dublin champions have been: Roland de Wolfe (Season 3, €554,300); Mats Gavatin (Season 2, €317,000) and Ram Vaswani (Season 1, €93,000)
