Imagine the exhilaration that would surge through your body if you became the 2025 Irish Poker Tour Killarney Irish Poker Cup champion. Marc MacDonnell achieved this feat last year and turned his €700 investment into €88,000 after a heads-up deal with Conor O'Driscoll. Now imagine how amazing it would be to not only win this prestigious event's top prize but also have WPT Global deposit €100,000 in your account for good measure.
The Irish Poker Tour and WPT Global have joined forces and are offering players the chance to win an additional €100,000 during the Irish Poker Cup at the Killarney Festival. WPT Global is hosting an OnLive Day 1 to the €500,000 guaranteed Irish Poker Cup at 6:00 p.m. UTC on August 31.

Enter the $815 (€700) WPT Global OnLive Day 1 – Irish Poker Cup at 6:00 p.m. UTC on August 31, finish in the flight's top 30, and you'll receive a Golden Ticket. Holders of such tickets will receive a €100,000 cash bonus from WPT Global should they go on to win the €500,000 guaranteed Irish Poker Cup in Killarney!
