Irish Student Poker Championship, March 1st 2006

One week ban. Wrong forum, wrong structure.

Trinity, UCD and DIT. These are names of colleges not normally associated with poker. But the boys and girls of these and many other colleges from around the country put on a magnificent exhibition of no-limit hold’em tournament play in the Gresham Hotel last night.

244 student competitors, who probably borrowed the €20 entry from their parents took part in this massive event. The Trinity Card Society put an enormous amount of effort into the organisation of the second ever Irish Student Poker Championships. And the players reaped the full rewards.

With added prize money galore thanks to boylepoker.com the students at this massive yearly event got more free stuff than even they could have imagined.

The top 28 players received prize money. Declan Hollywood and Peter Andreucetti finished in second and third respectively, but the night belonged to sound engineering student Roy Musielak from Dun Laoghaire.

Roy played an outstanding standard of poker to take the first prize of €2,200. And added to that cash prize was a ticket into the Dublin Poker Cup. The ticket, worth €500 will mean Roy can compete in the Citywest Hotel on March 24th. The Dublin Poker Cup looks set to have a prize-pool of €80,000.

Who knows, we might even see Roy and some of the other final table finishers qualify for the Irish Poker Tour Final. This tournament, which also takes place in the xxxxxxx costs €3,000 to enter and will have an estimated prize-pool of €1,000,000.

I would imagine that ticket is for the Thursday Gresham or Monday Red Cow weekly events.
