Pulling off the impossible<\/h2>\n

Fintan Gavin\u2019s ambition to bring higher stakes live tournaments back to Ireland was never more evident than when he announced the inaugural Irish Poker Festival last year, with a \u20ac700,000 ($768,261) guarantee on the \u20ac3,000 ($3,293) buyin Main Event, and a total of \u20ac1m ($1.09m) in total guarantees across the festival. This seemed brave to say the least, and by the time the International Poker Open rolled around the week before, almost everybody I spoke to in Irish poker gave Fintan no chance of hitting the guarantee.<\/p>\n

\u201cFintan will do his boll*cks.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cJust before late registration closes will be a good time to be hanging around the Intercontinental bar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The first two flights were ahead of expectation but a big Saturday was still needed. Fintan admitted to me afterwards that when he came in early that day to find only 17 players registered he felt some waves of panic. As the day went on though more players jumped in, and by the end of the day it was clear that the guarantee was safe. In the end, they comfortably exceeded it, and Fintan\u2019s uncanny ability to pull off the seemingly impossible<\/a> was reaffirmed.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s edition<\/h2>\n

You\u2019d think after last year\u2019s sweat Fintan might have reined it in a bit this year, but you\u2019d be wrong. The Irish Poker Festival returns from Tuesday, October 29 to Sunday, November 3 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin, with guarantees of more than \u20ac1m. The \u20ac700,000 guaranteed Main Event which has a \u20ac3,000 buy-in and runs from Wednesday to Sunday with three days.<\/p>\n
