Looking past the 2011 WSOP and moving into the prime time live poker tournament season, it’s hard to decide where to focus your efforts if you are serious about earning a spot in a major live event. At Chili Poker, you can already qualify for the Irish Winter Festival, giving you plenty of chances to take down one of the guaranteed Main Event packages.
The 2011 Irish Winter Festival is being held at the luxurious Burlington Hotel in Dublin, Ireland from October 29th – 31st, 2011. Satellites are running now under two structures depending on whether you would rather play for a just the €1,000 + €100 buy-in to the Main Event, or shoot for an €1,800 prize package than includes: €316 for 4 nights’ accommodation at the host hotel; €30 for handling fees and €345 for flights and spending; plus a main event entry (of course).
Super satellites run every week (Sundays at 20:00 server time). Direct buy-in is €150 + €12, and 3 X €1,800 prize packages are guaranteed. You can also qualify via Sit-and-Go single-table elimination tournaments or multi-table tourneys in a variety of formats:
