Paddy Power announces details of Student Masters 2013
8 Oct 2012
The €100 + €10 buy-in, no-limit hold’em freezeout will play out over one weekend; starting in the Ballsbridge Hotel in Dublin, just minutes from Dublin’s City Centre and right next door to the Aviva Stadium, and moving to the Jackpot Casino for the final day of play.
Action kicks off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 2, 2013 and runs until the bubble bursts, with a cut-off time of 2 a.m. The second day begins on Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m. at the Jackpot Casino.
Paddy Power is once again adding an Irish Open entry to the prize pool, which means the winner of the live student poker championship will get to represent their fellow students in the oldest no-limit hold’em poker event in Europe next Easter.
Qualifiers begin at paddypowerpoker.com on Monday, October 15, 2012 and there are three ways for students to win their seats:
1. Online Freeroll Tournaments: There are TWO FREE seats up for grabs on the last Sunday of every month from October 28, 2012 to February 24, 2013 in paddypowerpoker.com’s Student Masters freerolls. Those who finish in third to tenth place will receive an online satellite token worth €11 for Wednesday’s online satellite.
2. Online Satellites: A €110 Student Masters seat is ready for the taking every Monday night in the €5 + €0.50 no-limit hold’em rebuy satellite at paddypowerpoker.com. This is followed by a €1 + €0.10 rebuy feeder satellite into Wednesday night’s no-limit hold’em freezeout, which is also giving away a seat to the popular event.
3. Direct Buy-In: Players who wish to buy into the Student Masters directly can do so through the paddypowerpoker.com software now. They then just turn up on the day to take their seat.
