These days, Ireland isn't just famous for Shamrocks, leprechauns and U2, no siree, they are now becoming renowned for their EPT events, this year being staged at The Regency Hotel in Dublin.
The craic is always great in Dublin, so if you fancy a cheap trip abroad, then perhaps this is your chance to experience poker outside the English border. Of course, those Main Event seats tend to vanish like there's no tomorrow, so you may prefer to take a shot at some of the side events, one of which is a very affordable €330 No Limit Hold'Em Freezout. Sounds like it might be worth a crack, or should that be craic? Either way, if you're up for a laugh and fancy drinking the nights away in good ol Dublin, then take a butchers at the info below:
