Online poker platform WPT Global has partnered with Ireland's JP Poker Card Club & Casino to launch a new monthly poker tournament.
The tournament will feature a €200 ($222.39) buy-in and a guaranteed €50,000 prize pool. The collaboration also offers players opportunities to participate in the World Poker Tour (WPT) and various promotions on WPT Global.
The partnership would connect online and live poker, allowing players to qualify through daily online satellite tournaments hosted by WPT Global. Winners would advance to Online Day 1 and then to the live tournament held at JP Poker Card Club & Casino. WPT would also kick-start the event by hosting a special satellite guaranteeing 20 seats for the live tournament.
JP McCann, Owner of JP Poker Card Club & Casino, said: "We’re thrilled to collaborate with WPT Global, a brand that stands for excellence and innovation in online poker.
“This partnership allows us to offer our members and visiting players the chance to participate in great value tournaments with significant prize pools, all while enjoying the top-tier amenities at our newly opened venue. Our collaboration with WPT Global compliments our goal of providing the best poker experience in Ireland to our players.”
WPT Global President Alex Scott said: "Partnering with JP Poker Card Club & Casino is a fantastic opportunity for us to bring the WPT Global experience to Ireland’s vibrant poker community.
"We’re excited to offer players the chance to qualify online for the new €50,000 guaranteed monthly event at JP Poker Card Club and Casino and the WPT World Championship, blending the best of both worlds.
"We anticipate that this partnership will drive the action for WPT Global, JP Poker Card Club & Casino and the entire Irish poker scene.”
