Full Tilt has replaced Boylepoker as the headline sponsor for the low stakes buy-in event, The International Poker Open, with events promised throughout Ireland and England.

Full Tilt has thrown out a timely reminder that they still have some love for their poker arm, after signing a deal to replace Boylepoker as the headline sponsor for the International Poker Open (IPO).

Fans of Full Tilt were beginning to wonder. The word ‘poker’ was dropped from the title, and virtual poker tables put in storage to make way for the new look online casino. But the announcement of the partnership with the IPO, and the introduction of an online satellite qualification program, shows that the low buy-in recreational player is still highly thought of.

PokerStars has the United Kingdom & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT), and Full Tilt now has the Full Tilt IPO. The arrangement runs from May 2015 through to April 2016 with seven events already announced. Scottish and Welsh players will be disappointed, although there are more events going to be released in 2016.
