Dublin is a world renowned destination. The likes of Guinness, Irish folk bars, a great night life, beautiful scenery and of course, their famous Irish breakfasts are just a few things that have managed to put this great city on the map. With the Easter Weekend upon us, the city will be buzzing once again, but not just because of what’s been mentioned.

There will be plenty of people heading to Dublin this weekend but having a party will be the last thing that is on their minds. This is down to the fact that the Irish Open, the oldest poker event in Europe, is taking place in Dublin over the Easter weekend and this is something that is taken very seriously.

Watch the Irish Open From Your Home

The Main Event of the No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em tournament, which has a buy-in of €2,000 + €250 begins on Friday and anyone wanting to keep up to date with the event will be able to watch the event streamed on pokertube.com. The first three days of the stream will be hosted by Rebecca McAdam, Emmet Kennedy and a number of special guests who will be dropping in to give their opinion on the poker action that is unfolding. This is just building up to the Grand Final table on Monday where the stream will be anchored by Jesse May. Jesse is also known as “The Voice Of Poker” so you can guarantee that this is the commentator you want talking you through the big-plays and the fast moving action.

A spokesperson for Paddy Power released this statement; “There’s no better place this weekend to catch some world class poker on the web than with our Irish Open live stream at Poker Tube. We’ve plenty of giveaways, great commentary and guests galore so if you can’t make it to the best poker tournament in Europe in person be sure to tune in online for all the action from Dublin!”

There is definitely something special about the Irish Open and it is a poker tournament that is held close to the hearts of many players and people involved with the industry. The Irish Open was first set up in 1981, making it the longest No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em event in Europe. It also makes it the second oldest event of this kind in the world. The only No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em event that has been around for longer is the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Little did Terry Rogers, the famous Irish bookmaker, know when he was starting this event that it would go on to the heights it is held in these days. With the streaming of the event online, even more people will be able to partake in the excitement and savour the atmosphere that the Irish Open manages to deliver.
