Online qualifiers for tickets to the seventh annual Irish Classic Poker Festival main event are underway at Betfair Poker every Wednesday at 9 p.m. BST with one ticket guaranteed each week.
Qualifiers will automatically be entered into the Free Million Dollar Game freeroll where the winner will go to London to play against 17 others for a $1 million first prize at the Betfair-sponsored World Series of Poker Europe. Players who wish to play in this freeroll on August 16 simply register for the Irish Poker Classic.
The centerpiece of the Irish Classic Poker Festival, taking place from Aug. 10 to 16, 2009, is the EUR100,000 guaranteed EUR1,000 + EUR100 buy-in no limit hold'em main event taking place over three days from Thursday Aug. 13. The main event has a 15,000 chip starting stack with 75 minute blinds.

Live satellites for the Irish Poker Classic have already started or will start soon at the Olympus Card Club, Waterford; JP Poker, Dublin; Cue Club, Killarney; Fitzpatrick's, Limerick; and The Eglinton, Galway with 10 seats guaranteed. The Celtic Poker Tour Midlands will also run a satellite with a number of seats guaranteed and cash option on the night of the event.
