Paddy Power is the betting firm behind the tournament and they have confirmed that they have listened to previous player feedback and put down the buy in to €2,000 + €250. This should ensure that more players than ever take part in the Irish Poker Open next year.

The event is scheduled for the Easter weekend in 2013, which runs from the 29^th of March through to the 1^st of April. As well as the main games there will be a host of other events lined up before then.

The online qualification route for the Irish Open kicked off on Sunday the 25^th of November and will be open on a weekly basis from now on.  Some of the winning packages up for grabs let players enjoy the action in style by staying in the Burlington Hotel while they play.

The Sole Survivor competition will also be up and running again this year. If you get into the 2013 Irish Open through the Paddy Power site then you are eligible to take part in this. The player who lasts the longest time in the main event gets €50,000 and buy ins for both a 2013 World Series of Poker event and the 2014 Irish Open.
