Irish Poker Open online series approaches

The Irish Poker Open will now run the entire festival online from April 6-12. The Main Event on April 6 features a €1 million guarantee.

The good news about the online festival is that it will be available to players in all countries on the .COM site.

“Since our announcement last week regarding the postponement of Irish Open 2020, considerable efforts have been made to find an alternative date,” organizer JP McCann said in a news release. “However, as the uncertainty surrounding live poker events continues, we feel that the best decision to take at this point is to cancel the live festival for 2020.

“We would like to thank partypoker for taking the initiative to help ensure Europe’s oldest running Poker Festival goes ahead during these very challenging times.”

Here’s a complete schedule of events:

WPT, partypoker move tour action online

The highlight will be a $3,200 WPT Online Championship with a $5 million guarantee, set to begin May 10. The series becomes an official part of the WPT Main Tour.

Swap Hold’em debuts

PokerStars will soon be offering a new twist on Texas Hold’em. The new cash game variant, Swap Hold’em, is now available at PokerStars.

Swap rules are almost identical to Texas Hold’em. However, before players have the option to fold they can swap out one or both of their hole cards for new ones. Players can swap once per hand, at any point pre- or post-flop.

Players can see which players swapped their cards and how many by looking at the swap icon by each player’s avatar. If a player does swap, they can see the cards they held originally by hovering over their own swap icon.

Swap Hold’em is the latest limited-time cash game from PokerStars. It’s currently available on the .UK and .NET sites and will soon be available on .COM, .EU, .BE, and .EE.

Why 888Poker Should Grab Your Attention Right Now

888Poker is going all-out this year. The entire 888Poker Squad will be coming to Las Vegas to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the WSOP, and there are some great WSOP packages up for grabs.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is the most recognizable poker event in the entire world. Hundreds of thousands of players make a summer pilgrimage to the Rio in order to hunt for the famous gold bracelets.

888Poker has an existing connection to WSOP, in that the two sites share a network in New Jersey. So, it’s probably not a surprise that 888Poker is piggybacking onto the tremendous wave of interest that follows the annual tournament series.

However, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the World Series of Poker. So, the site is bringing its entire 888Poker Squad to Las Vegas to celebrate.

The Squad is a group of top notch 888 ambassadors. Its members include:

2014 Main Event Winner Martin Jacobson
Poker announcer Kara Scott
Online poker legend Chris Moorman
Dominik Nitsche
Vivian Saliba
Ana Marquez
Sofia Lovgren

888Poker is offering exclusive qualifiers online to give players a shot at hanging out with this group of poker celebrities. There’s no doubt that the winners will receive a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

888Poker Main Event Packages

888Poker is a WSOP Main Event sponsor again this year. So, the site is going to offer an exclusive Main Event package on its site.

The Squad package is worth $12,600 in terms of a cash value. It includes:

Main Event $10,000 buy in
6 free nights at the luxurious Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas
$1000 for travel and expenses
Shuttle service back and forth to the Rio
Dinner on the first night of the Main Event
Vdara welcome session
888Poker Live Kit
Meet and Greet with some of the top players in the world.

Some of the elite squad members will also host private training sessions as a cherry on top of the deal. The squad member prize winner that lasts the longest in the 2019 Main Event will also win a $12,600 package to the 2020 WSOP Main Event.

How to Qualify for the 888Poker Squad Packages

888Poker is awarding packages through the Sunday $1050 Main Event Package Qualifier tournament. This qualifier runs every Sunday at 20:30 GMT.

If $1050 is a little too much for your bankroll, don’t worry. There are multiple lower buy in events that can help get you on the road to the Sunday Qualifier. Some are even available for just 1 cent!

For instance, each day at 20:01 GMT there is a $16.50 satellite that can get you into the Sunday $109. In turn, the Sunday $109 event runs every Sunday at 17:12 GMT and guarantees 5 seats directly to the $1050 Main Event Qualifier.

The WSOP is back at the Rio and bigger than ever

After earlier speculation to the contrary, the WSOP will be back at the Rio again this year. The 50th WSOP begins on May 28 and runs until July 16.

A few new additions have been added to the WSOP lineup this year, including an event called the Big 50, which will commemorate the WSOP’s anniversary.

The Big 50 is a $500 buy-in no-limit event with a $5 million dollar guaranteed prize pool. First prize for this tournament will be a cool $1 million.

Even better, every player’s initial entry is rake free. The first flight for the Big 50 will occur on May 31.

The WSOP expects record numbers again this year, due in part to sites like 888Poker running these great package deals. Make sure not to miss out and get into the action with 888Poker.

888poker XL Eclipse Championships Make Most Of Opportunities To Win

888poker has finally released details of its Fall XL Eclipse Championships. Events begin on Sept. 13 and run through to Sept. 23.

This is a critical time of the year for poker operators. The end of the Summer slump when long sunny days take players away from their screens signals the beginning of the Fall program of tournament series.

Success in attracting players back from their Summer breaks is a major factor in retaining players through the winter months when online poker is most popular. It’s also one of the best times to attract new players, and big money tournament headlines are an important marketing tool in getting poker novices on-board.

The headlines 888poker is offering for the XL Eclipse are nicely targeted. The magic $1 million number is up there not just in the Main Event guarantee, but also as part of a side promotion.

Players can win cash bonuses for winning more than one tournament. Two tournaments merits a $1,000 bonus, three gets $10,000, but win four tournaments and the bonus leaps to $100,000 and hitting five victories secures a jackpot payout of $1 million.

Winning five events is an outside chance for any player, but with 34 events scheduled it’s definitely within the realms of possibility.

Event #32 is the $1,050 buy-in Main Event and it comes with the $1 million guarantee so essential to pull in a large field. The high buy-in is a deterrent to casual players, but there are a vast range of satellites scheduled between now and the event starting.

There is even a mega satellite that begins less than three hours before the Main Event itself. The Main Event Mega Satellite – 50 seats GTD comes with a $215 entry fee and kicks off at 15:05 just in advance of the Main Event start at 18:00 on Sunday, September 23.

The numbers to look for to see if 888 can surpass its performance in 2017 are 1,149 entries, 413 rebuys and a total prize pool of $1,562,000.

All tournament winners get an extra prize

888 is handing out extra prizes to all the top tournament winners. Each winner receives entry to the XL Inferno Champion of Champions Event which offers a WSOP Main Event package for first place. Full prize list is:

1st $12,600 WSOP Vegas Main Event package
2nd $2,700 Crazy 8s WSOP Side Event package + $1,050 tournament ticket
3rd $2,700 Crazy 8s WSOP package
4th – 5th $1,050 tournament ticket
6th – 9th $215 tournament ticket
10th – 34th $55 tournament ticket

As there will be a maximum of 34 entries, less if any players win multiple events in the main series, every player is guaranteed a prize.

XL Eclipse Schedule has lower guarantees but wide choice

In 2017 888 experimented with a schedule that offered lower individual tournament guarantees spread across a larger number of events. This let them offer an XL series with the highest amount in guarantees in its history, $9.2 million.

For 2018, the schedule is more like the 2016 version. The total offered in guarantees is down to $2.8 million but the average guarantee has almost doubled compared to last year.

Writing for the 888 magazine, Chad Holloway explained:

“Last year’s XL Eclipse Series was comprised of 197 events, and while it was a success, players let it be known they prefer quality over quantity.”

The schedule includes events with buy-ins from $5 for the XL Eclipse #15 – $15,000 Mini R&A up to the prestigious $2,600 buy-in XL Eclipse #16 – $200,000 High Roller.

As always, 888’s main competitors have competing tournament series running in September, but both PokerStars and partypoker have set their start dates a little earlier than 888. PokerStars’ World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) and partypoker’s Powerfest both hold their first events on Sep. 2.
