This Sunday, 12 March, there will be no Sunday freeroll / Sunday poker steps held because of Itzacon (Galway's gaming convention). Instead there will be a 10 euro double-chance Texas hold'em tournament in NUI Galway at 2pm. There may be a free to be paid for entrance to Itzacon itself (not sure about this).
