The final table of ten will be play off for a €5000 sponsored pro package for use in the first part of 2010. 2nd will get $500 in their bruce poker account.

Hi Iain am i reading that right as in the top 100 players have to buy into the Longford Masters to have a chance of claiming final final table spots.

Or is this a second event on the same night????

big_iain

You are reading it right.

Top 8 on IPR after Voodoos last ranking event automatically get seat on final Table.

Those who wish to try for the last two spots can pay into the longford masters(€150), then register with IPR for the last longer competition(free to top 100 players) and at the end of the tournament the two last longest players win their seats on the final table too.

10 will sit down in Galway to try to win a €5000 Brucepoker.com sponsored pro package with $500 for second.


I guess the last longest competition for those entering have an expected extra 2 * €530 final table tickets added to the prize pool in Longford. Great value for those playing.
