JP Poker Masters 2009 Sponsored by Bruce Poker.Com - €100,000 GUARANTEED

JP Poker

I’m proud to announce that the JP Poker Masters 2009 will be a sponsored event with a €100,000 Guaranteed Minimum Prize Pool for the Main Event.

The event will once again be held in the Red Cow Hotel which is a fantastic venue for poker with service second to none between the dates of 7th to 10th May. I did want to hold the event on May Bank Holiday weekend but the dates were not available.

A total of 180 played last years Main Event for a Total Prize Pool of €121,500 with a 1st prize of €40,000 which was won by Local Legend Martin Doyle. This years Main Event will have a cap of 300 players.

I will post the full blind structure for all events once they have been finalised along with special rates for the Red Cow Hotel.

I know this post doesn’t have full details as per charter, the reason I have posted this is more of a save the date. As soon as I finalise the remaining details I will post them all here.

Cash Rake on €1/€2 will be €10 per person per hour which is very cheap for rake for a festival.

I would like to thank Bruce Poker.Com for their support in getting behind this event.

Ya I tried booking that weekend at last years Masters but there was a wedding already booked in for that weekend.

I'll do my best to have it on the May Bank Holiday weekend going forward after this year.

No it looks great, maybe a 7pm start would be better or even an 8 on the Friday as traffic is mad around 6.

Good Idea

Moneymaker

Looks good JP. Decent BI and what i'm sure will be a very good structure. Methinks i'll play this.

Ollieboy

also try to get Bruce to run network wide sats for this as soon as possible, this type of event with structure, buy-in and location could be as big as Killarney.

FeetMagic

Looks very good and the buy-in will suit a large percentage of poker players. Think this should do well and atm I plan on playing it.

I know they will be running online sats as soon as Connies upcoming game in Killaraney is over as they are also putting up a guarantee at that game.

I hoping for decent turn out for this, at last years event we only got 32 players. That said I've been getting alot of positive feedback so hoping for 60-80 runners. The scalps should make it interesting.

These sats have now been moved to every Sunday @ 20:30, starting this Sunday.

We moved the game to stop it clashing with the game in Molloys

JP Poker

Win your ticket for the main event tonight in the Bruce Poker Live Tour game in Mulligar.

Good Luck

JP Poker

Only 4 weeks to go.

I will be in touch with most card clubs and tournie organisers about satellites after the Irish Open and will post a thread on all the sat's.

Good Luck to everyone playing at the Irish Open and if you could pass the word around about the Masters that would be great.

Hi, been looking for a good sized Live tour in may, and this looks perfect.

I got some questions, sorry if they are pretty basic, but I got no knowledge of dublin, bruce poker, or ireland in generel, but from what the story goes, there should atleast be plenty of beer.

A good hotel nearby where the tourney is being held ? or even at the place itself, if it havnt been booked already.

pay upfront, or is there enough places, so that i neednt worry about that ?

if payment is required upfront, where do i pay, possible at any of the larger online sites ?


Best regards.

Dennis Andreasen.

Hey Dennis,

Just having a quick look at this now as I'm working at the IO.

You can book into the Red Cow Hotel. We are capped at 300 but if you want to reserve a seat pm me and I'll tell you how.

JP Poker

There has been alot of talk at the Irish Open about this game. Looks like we will fill our cap of 300.

Anyone wanting to guarantee their seat to this event can pay on www.brucepoker.com or contact me on 087 6448132.

Jp

Live21

my cellphone isnt set up for out of the country calls,

could you send me the info on how to register and pay before arrival in a private message at this site (im arriving in dublin the 6th of may, and would be sick if i cant play the main event)

havnt got an account with bruce poker, would be easier for me with wiretransfer or inter account transfer on pokerstars/fulltilt

best regards

Hey,

You'll need to get in touch with Dani (kimba on boards) she is organising the dealers for this. As far as I know she already has it sorted but could do with some reserves.

If you don't get this one you may get the next one, good luck.

5starpool

Hi JP,

How many levels do you intend playing each day, and when do you anticipate that you will reach the money stages?

Do you have a full blinds structure?

I would really like to play this but I think i may have committed myself to a communion or some such thing on the Sunday, so want to see if it might be worthwhile getting the cold shoulder for a bit if I have to play on Sunday (unlikely as that is I know).

Lady Di

Will PP be running any Sats for this?
