The €100K Golden Ticket Path
IPO Dublin Schedule Highlights
IPO Dublin Full Schedule

The International Poker Open (IPO) has been a staple of the Dublin poker calendar since 2007, known for its affordable buy-ins, friendly atmosphere, and festival spirit. This October, players can make the experience even more memorable thanks to the returning €100,000 Golden Ticket promotion from WPT Global.

For as little as $0.44, players can climb a satellite path that leads all the way to the €350 IPO Main Event at Dublin’s Bonnington Hotel. Whoever wins the Main Event after qualifying through WPT Global will not only secure the title but also pocket an extra €100,000 on top of the prize pool.

The €100K Golden Ticket Path

WPT Global has set up a simple feeder system that starts with micro buy-ins and guarantees seats to the Main Event:

$0.44 → $4.40 → $44 → €350 IPO Main Event seat
Three seats guaranteed every Monday and Thursday at 20:00 (Irish time, UTC+1)
Online Day 1 runs at WPT Global on October 19
Live Day 1s take place at the Bonnington Hotel between October 22–26

Satellites are already underway and continue until October 12, giving players plenty of opportunities to secure their IPO seat.

IPO Dublin Schedule Highlights

Running from October 21–27, the 2025 IPO Festival offers a week packed with poker in the Irish capital. The €350 Main Event will feature six starting flights, including regular, turbo, and hyper-turbo formats.

High rollers can test themselves in the €1,100 Luxon Pay Super High Roller (€30K GTD) and the €550 Leslie McLean High Roller, while those seeking variety can jump into the €200 Second Chance, €170 PLO Deepstack, and €170 8-Game.
