The complete schedule for October's Irish Winter Festival (IWF) tournament series has been revealed by paddypowerpoker.com with a wide range of side events on offer in addition to the €1,125 buy-in no-limit hold‘em main event.

Set to run from October 25 to 28 from the Burlington Hotel in Dublin, this year's IWF will offer seven events in total including the inaugural €55 buy-in Crazy Pineapple poker tournament on the Saturday.

“It may sound like it involves the elaborate use of a prickly fruit but it simply means players receive three hole cards, one of which has to be discarded after the flop,” read a statement from paddypowerpoker.com, which is running super satellites into the IWF main event every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evening.

Players looking for the thrill of the IWF’s main event but on a slightly smaller scale can take part in the two-day €225 buy-in ‘mini event’ from October 27 while the same day will see attendees again offered the chance to enjoy Beer Pong, which only involves getting a ball into a cup.

“The IWF is one event [we] look forward to every year [as] you know there is always something a bit whacky to get involved in,” read the statement from paddypowerpoker.com.

“We're particularly excited about our newest addition to the schedule, the Crazy Pineapple tournament. Not only has it got the best name of any poker tournament ever, it's also a great format that generates lots of action. Anyone making fruit puns at the table will be fined chips, though.”

Qualifiers are running at paddypowerpoker.com.
