World Poker Tournament Schedule
|
|
 The world poker tournament schedule is unlike any sporting season or games of chance. Where else will you find millions of dollars on the table as some of the best players in the world compete and you get to see how they strategize each hand? Poker tournaments on TV like the WSOP, the Heads Up Poker Championship, the World Poker Tour and High Stakes Poker have changed the way the public perceives online poker with many online qualifiers winning main events.
In the old days, ESPN was the only television network showing main event final table action and even that was limited. Since then, almost all major television channels have now been bit by the marketing bug that is poker. Mixing the combination together of major poker events, cameras to view the cards of players with celebrities; has turned into big money for television networks and also aided the explosion of pokers popularity. As poker continues to grow and the prizes get bigger, you can always stay informed here at Poker Host with world poker schedules, articles and news.

World Series of Poker
The Series poker tournaments are held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Rio Casino lasting just over a month. The schedule of poker tournaments concludes with the world famous $10,000 buy-in No Limit Holdem main event. Each year, the poker tournaments attract thousands of fans to cheer on the crowning of a poker champion and the multi-million dollar prizes given to the final table players. Is 2008 the year you put on the champions bracelet #39?

Irish Open
Are you ready for pints of Guinness and poker? Then you need to play in the 2008 Irish Open held each year in Dublin, Ireland for the longest running No Limit Texas Holdem poker tournament in Europe. The 2007 Irish Open poker tournament had two previous World Series of Poker champions Dan Harrington and Carlos Mortensen battling it out at the final table but it would be the local Irishman Marty Smyth who would walk away with the trophy and €650,000 in prize money.
