Irish Open 2009 Main Event Date: 10th - 13th April 2009 Venue: TBC Buy-in: €3,500 VIP Pints: 25,000 Closing Date:

Europe's longest running poker tournament returns in 2009 on the back of two hugely successful events in 2007 and 2008. Famous for its party atmosphere as much as the high quality field, the Irish Open reguarly attracts the world's top pros to Dublin to compete against the locals at the table as well as at the bar. 

Doyle Brunson, Mike Sexton, Phil Laak, Antonio Esfandiari, David Benyamine and Sorel Mizzi have all made an impression in recent years while champions Marty Smyth (2007) and Neil Channing (2008) have both become household names. Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott stole the show last year when he teamed up with the bluegrass band in the lobby to perform for a packed crowd.

Even better news is that while Devilfish Travel rewards you massively for playing on Devilfish Poker, you will still be able to partake in any of our Sign Up and Reload Bonuses at the same time.

You can earn VIP points by playing on Devilfish Poker in any of our real money Cash Games or Tournaments. One VIP point is awarded for each €0.40 which you contribute in rake or tournament fees.

In Cash Games, the amount of VIP points awarded to you per hand is based on your contribution to the pot and consequently to the rake. If your rake contribution is less than €0.40, then you will receive partial VIP-points. The maximum rake which can be taken from the pot is €3, therefore you can earn up to 3.75 VIP points per hand. If you do not contribute any money into the pot, are not rewarded with any VIP-points.

VIP points are also awarded for participation in tournaments. If you participate in a scheduled multi-table tournament or a Sit & Go, you will receive 1 VIP point for each €0.40 paid in tournament fees. No VIP points will be awarded if VIP points are used to enter the tournament.
