Success for the 1st Chilipoker DeepStack Open tournament in Dublin. At 6am and after 40 hours of unremitting tension, the French Frédéric Brunet wins the first Chilipoker Deepstack Open along with the €50,000 prize. For the first tournament in Dublin, the French turned out en masse, making up nearly 300 of the 465 players in the Main Event. Alongside them, players of fifteen other nationalities also invested €500 in this major amateur European tournament, representing a total prize pool of €232,500.


This big poker weekend, which kicked off on Thursday, attracted more than 1,000 players from all over Europe, with five tournaments ranging from €150 to €500. For hardcore fans, there were plenty of cash game tables open for more than 48 hours all together, to suit all budgets.

“It was a great success for the organisers, D4Events, and for us as sponsors. The tournament was fully booked 3 weeks before it started. In accordance with the three-year partnership that we announced in January, we are continuing to invest in this deepstack tournament sector in Europe and the surrounding area. We created the Chilipoker DeepStack Open (or DSO) brand with a view to responding to the needs of amateur and semi-professional poker players.” said Alexandre Dreyfus, Chilipoker’s CEO.

The first bookings have already been made for the 2010 tournament, and organisers are expecting to take the number of players up to 1,000.

“Following the example of the World Poker Tour Marrakech that we also organise, the format of this event is special and fun. This is the image of poker that we would like to promote and be associated with. Compared to the major professional circuits, where entrance tickets can cost between €5 and €10,000, the Chilipoker DeepStack Open format will always be capped at €500. This means that as many players as possible are given the opportunity to take part in an international tournament. And with Chilipoker’s support, these tournaments will have extensive media coverage.”
