Irish Poker Classic to Take Place This Summer

The sixth annual Irish Poker Classic is going to be held this summer at the Macau Sporting Club in Cork, according to recent reports. The main event, sporting a €150,000 guarantee, will be at the tail end of the series of events, which will run between August 11 and August 17. With 75 minute blind levels and 15,000 in starting chips this is a true "deep stack" poker event, which is very popular in Ireland. These events favor the skill of the player over luck thanks to the long blinds and big starting chip stacks.
