The 2023 Irish Open shuffles up and deals on April 3, and hundreds of poker players from far and wide will descend on Dublin in an attempt to become a poker champion. It goes without saying that those players will bring their A-game to the tables, especially now that the results from the Irish Open events earn precious points for the season-long PokerStarsUK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) Leaderboards.
Play in any standard tournament at the 2023 Irish Open that has a buy-in of €220 or more, excluding satellites, and you earn UKIPT Leaderboard points based on your finishing position and the number of entries. The leaderboard runs throughout the 2023 UKIPT season, and rewards the top three finishers with some incredible prizes. PokerStars is releasing the schedule for the 2023 UKIPT soon.
Finish third on the UKIPT Leaderboard for £1,100 worth of 2024 UKIPT live credit. The runner-up wins £2,200 worth of live credits for the 2024 UKIPT season, while the leaderboard's champion gets their hands on a £15,000 UKIPT 2024 package, consisting of £4,000 towards expenses in addition to £11,000 of 2024 live credits! Capturing that package is a dream scenario for a live poker tournament grinder because they would be essentially freerolling the entire 2024 UKIPT season!
