PokerStars to Sponsor the Mammoth Poker Festival
This was published 13-05-2018Online poker giant PokerStars will be sponsoring the Mammoth Poker Festival scheduled to take place at the Bonnington Hotel in Dublin, Ireland between 29th May and 4th June 2018 resulting in the festival being bigger and better than ever.
The Mammoth Poker Festival is running for the second year and features six tournaments, including a €150,000 guaranteed Main Event that costs €120 to enter and a €50,000 guaranteed High Roller event that requires a buy-in of €500.
The inaugural Mammoth Poker Series Main Event was won by Lee Egan in June of last year when he came out on top of a 1,468-strong field to win an amount of €15,250. A deal was struck among the final seven finishers, with the second-place finisher down to seventh each taking home an amount of €10,000.
This year’s edition of the Mammoth Poker Series Main Event features a guaranteed prize pool of €15,000 for the same buy-in of €120 (€100 + €20). However, Pokerstars’ sponsorship will see the winner also securing a PokerStars Players Championship Platinum Pass worth $30,000, which will add extra spice to the tournament.
The winner of the High Roller will also be awarded a $30,000 Platinum Pass by PokerStars, making both tournaments must-play events.
