DevilfishPoker.com is testing its players’ stamina and determination in the month of November in its new Endurance Challenge, which will see €25,000 divided equally among all those who complete it. To take part, players must earn 25 VIP points on 25 consecutive days between November 6 and 30. At the end of the 25 days, all remaining players will share out the prize pool equally. However, if a player misses a day, they are immediately disqualified from the competition. The full list of players still in the competition will be available each day on the Devilfish Poker site.

Also in November, DevilfishPoker.com will have €28,000 in free European Masters of Poker Ljubljana packages up for grabs. 14 packages worth €2,000 will be divided up between freerolls, VIP races, and Raked Hands Races.

Every second day from November 2 to 20, there will be a freeroll with an EMOP Ljubljana package on offer for first place. To be eligible to enter, players must earn the required number of VIP points between November 1 and the start of each tournament.

A Sprint VIP Race will run over 10 days from November 1 to 10, and another from November 11 to 20. The players who earn the most points in each will receive a free EMOP package. As will the lucky two who play the most raked hands during the same dates in the Sprint Raked Hands Races.

Thomas Rolfe is celebrating a €100,000 windfall thanks to Ladbrokes Poker.

FREE entry Thomas Rolfe was celebrating after coming through a mammoth five and a half hour final table to land the Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival €100,000 first prize, last weekend.

The Nottingham-based player (alias ‘r0lfus’) plans to invest his biggest ever win in property after capturing the six-figure sum when his AQ vs. AK hit the flush to consign local favourite Emmet Gough to the runners-up spot. The four day festival attracted over 750 players.

Rolfe said: “I’m really pleased to have won this event. It’s a big stepping stone and a chance to invest in a new house.”

The 22-year-old, who won his place at Killarney in a rake race on Ladbrokespoker.com, added to his joy by securing the first Ladbrokes Poker Cruise IV package.

Satellites for the cruise are due to start in December, exclusively online at Ladbrokes Poker.

Kate McLennan, Head of Poker, said “This tournament has once again been a huge success and is a fitting place to launch the Poker Cruise. It’s nice to see familiar faces and also welcome some first-timers.

“We’re already planning next year’s Irish event, though I think it’s going to take 12 months to recover from the weekend’s festival!”

An additional package for the ship was won in the Ladbrokes qualifiers’ prize draw-selected by Boyzone’s Shane Lynch-by Laddies legend Richard Clarke. (Alias ‘KrackedKings’, formerly ‘richlizard’).

Lynch and Irish football legend Ronnie Whelan were on hand to impart their pearls of poker wisdom to proceedings at the event.

Ladbrokes Pro’s Jonas ‘Nebuchad’ Danielsson and Jon ‘Skalie’ Kalmar represented Scandinavia and UK respectively in the fun showcase tournament held on stage – with Nebu taking the prize and the bragging rights in the UK vs. Scandi vs. Irish team competition.

Multi table tournament king and recent Vegas casher ‘daddymac’ won the festival’s €300 side event and picked up €18000.

With over $4,500,000 guaranteed across 14 events, the European Championship of Online Poker is back!

Massive prizes are on offer and all event winners will also receive an individually engraved Tag Heuer watch.

Qualify now for all ECOOP V events by participating in bet365Poker’s wide range of great value satellites. You could claim a seat for just $1.10. Direct buy-in is also available for each event.

With more than 50 cashes in international Pot Limit Omaha tournaments, and a reputation as one of the most feared Omaha cash game players, Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliott didn’t think twice when asked should they run a Hold’em or an Omaha promotion this - “Four cards good, two cards bad” was his answer. Nuff said.
