Big Slick Events (BSE) was created 5 years ago and has expanded at a rapid rate for live events throughout Ireland. We have assembled an excellent team who are well versed in providing a top class service, particularly for poker events.
We are capable of running events with over 1000 players. We have a dealer school in which dealers are trained to the highest industry standards. This is based in Waterford where we are are now building our newcasino and cardroom which will be completed by the Summer 2010
Last year we were voted Tournament Organizers of the year 08/09 by the Irish poker public on the main Irish poker forum. BSE is an independent events company and we have worked with such clients as Ladbrokes, Bodog, Boyle Poker and Blondepoker in the past.
We also run corporate events and casino nights throughout Ireland for clients such as KPMG accounting and the K Club.
The two Directors of the company are Neill Kelly, with a background in entertainment and marketing and Dermot Jacob with a background in marketing, business and finance.
BSE was involved in conceiving the idea for the recent Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival held in Ireland’s National Event Centre, including the groundbreaking €250,000 guarantee for a €500 buy-in. This effectively committed us to ensuring that we produced a field of 500 players, something that no other poker event, at this level, had managed. Ultimately, we delivered a starting field of 832 players, which included alternates the first year. We also worked closely with the venue to ensure that the overall player experience was taken to another level. This festival is now already being hailed as one of the “must play” events for 2009 within the poker community along with the Irish Open and the Irish Poker Championship.
BSE have developed a reputation for excellence within the poker community and demonstrated that they are able to deliver a first-class product. With the Ladbrokes Tour we hope to bring a professional touch to every event we run .
