WPT Global Teams Up With JP Poker Card Club & Casino in Ireland for New Poker Series

A Landmark Partnership in Irish Poker

For years, JP Poker Card Club & Casino has been a cornerstone of the Irish poker community. Known for its friendly atmosphere, competitive tournaments, and top-notch facilities, it has long been a favorite for players in Dublin and beyond. With WPT Global coming on board, the stakes are getting even higher.

“We’re thrilled to partner with WPT Global,” said JP McCann, owner of JP Poker Card Club & Casino. “This collaboration allows us to offer our players world-class tournaments with major prize pools, right here in Dublin. It’s a huge step forward for Irish poker.”

The name JP McCann might ring a bell to you, as he is also one of the two owners of the Irish Poker Open. One of the world’s oldest live poker series, known for its great ambience!

Monthly €50,000 Guarantee Tournament Series

The centerpiece of this new partnership is a monthly €50,000 guaranteed tournament. Each month, players can either qualify online through WPT Global or buy in directly at JP Poker’s newly relocated venue in Tallaght, Dublin. With an accessible buy-in of €200 and plenty of opportunities to qualify through feeder satellites, this event is expected to draw in large fields from across Ireland and beyond.

For online players, WPT Global will host regular satellites, including daily $5.50 feeder events and direct satellite qualifiers every Wednesday and Sunday. Those who advance from these online qualifiers will play Day 1 online, with successful players advancing to Day 2, which takes place live at JP Poker Card Club.

OnLive Tournaments: The Best of Both Worlds

One of the standout features of this collaboration is the introduction of OnLive events, which blend the convenience of online poker with the thrill of live tournaments.

Players can begin their journey in an online Day 1 on WPT Global and, if they advance, move on to the live portion at JP Poker Card Club for Day 2. This innovative format makes it easier for players to compete, no matter where they’re based.
