The JP Poker Masters is back!!! This Year’s Main Event has an Est €150,000 Prize Pool

Now in our 4th year we have made some adjustments which we hope everyone will like…

1: Lower buy-in of €560 for the Main Event (Down from €750)

2: Increased starting stack of 30k for the Main Event (Up from 20K)

3: Increased starting stack of 30k for the €300 Side Event (Up from 10K) we have also added a €25 scalp to this event.

4: €150 Short-Handed Event added to the Tournament Schedule

5: €80 Nightly Turbo added to the Tournament Schedule

The Ballsbridge Inn (formerly Jurys Hotel) will be the venue this year. We are expecting to have record breaking numbers and with the change in venue we now have a capacity for over 400 players which we hope to fill.

The Hotel has a great promo for the poker players of €65 per room per night (Room Only) I hope to have a promo code/Link within the next few days.
