Ireland will host a World Poker Tour event in 2012.

Dublin will be a fantastic tour stop and we think the combination of high quality poker and the Irish spirit of fun will draw players from all over the world.”

Is that the cheapest entry for a WPT.. Might start saving up...

Why do they need to make the event start on exactly the same day as the PCA? I realise its a cheaper alternative, but I struggle to believe they can't find anywhere else to fit it into January.
 
I wish all the tours would get together and sort out a calendar.
