Paddy Power Poker announces online satellite schedule for Irish Winter Festival 2012

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Paddy Power Poker has today launched a full schedule of online satellites for their upcoming live poker event, the Irish Winter Festival 2012 (IWF). The much-loved poker festival will take place over October Bank Holiday weekend (26th–29th October 2012) in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin.

Players can now qualify for the €1,125 IWF Main Event on Sunday, Monday and Thursday evenings, with feeders to these super satellites running on an hourly basis. Anyone who qualifies on paddypowerpoker.com before 1st September 2012 will have the added bonus of winning a free €50 sports bet.

The Sunday-night super satellite buy-in is set at €130 + €10, with two IWF packages guaranteed, each worth €1,800. A package is made up of a €1,125 Main Event seat, four nights accommodation in the Burlington Hotel and an additional €329 in cash for expenses such as flights.

The Monday-night super satellite is a very affordable €20 + €2 NLH Re-buy with one €1,125 IWF seat up for grabs, and the Thursday night €80 + €8 NLH Freezeout also guarantees one Main Event seat for the winner.

“There are so many reasons to qualify for the IWF on paddypowerpoker.com; get in now and you’ll receive a €50 sports bet for absolutely nothing and if you are one of the final six remaining qualifiers in the IWF Main Event in October you’ll win a free Irish Open 2013 seat!” said Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com.
