European Short Handed Poker Championship returns next month

Monday, 30 August 2010

If you prefer your tournament action short handed then Dublin will be the place to be this September with the European Short Handed Poker Championship.

The mini festival takes place at the Ballsbridge Inn in Dublin and will feature three events. Top billing goes to the €500+€50, three-day main event. The full schedule is as follows:


Weds 15th Sept 8pm - Super Satellite to Main Event €50+€10
25 Seats Guaranteed - One rebuy and One addon or 2 rebuys @ €50


Thurs 16th Sept 2pm - European Short-handed Main Event Day 1a €500+ €50
20,000 chips - 1 hr clock - 3 day event


Fri 17th Sept 2pm - European Short-handed Main Event Day 1b €500+ €50
20,000 chips - 1 hr clock - 3 day event


Saturday 18th Sept 3pm - €270+€30 Side Event
15,000 chips - 40 minute clock - 2 day event


Sunday 19th Sept 3pm - €180+€20 Side Event
10,000 chips - 30 minute clock - 1 day event


The Main Event will be six-handed throughout with the other events starting with full nine player tables until the field reaches 30. They will then go six handed. In addition to the tournaments there will be both short-handed and full ring cash games starting at €1/€2.


As the event takes places just a week after the UKIPT tournament in Dublin a big field is expected and players are recommended to book in advance.


Swiss player Raymond Beytrison beat home favourite Michael Muldoon to win the €39,000 first prize at last year's tournament.
