ONLINE QUALIFIERS START AUG. 13 FOR 2008 IRISH OPEN
POKER TOURNEY
17 August 2007
Euro 3 million prize-pool underwritten by Paddy
Poker.com
Online poker firm Paddy Power Poker.com has announced a
whopping Euro 1 million increase in its guarantee for
the 2008 Irish Open poker tournament, for which on line
qualifiers commence August 13.
The 2008 event sees the Irish Open expand with an
increased buy-in of Euro 4 200 + Euro 300 registration
fee, capacity for 1 000 players, and a Euro 3 million
guaranteed prize pool.
Online qualification will begin on Paddy Power Poker.com
on Monday, August 13, with a full schedule of daily
feeders to a fortnightly grand final satellite.
A record-breaking field of 708 players played in the
unique Dublin event in 2007 for over Euro 2.3 million in
prize money, including World Series of Poker champions
Dan Harrington and Carlos Mortensen. Last year's event
was won by Northern Irish player Marty Smyth who lifted
the Terry Rogers trophy, taking home Euro 650 000, after
a tough heads-up battle with Roland De Wolfe.
Top players crowded the starting ranks in the 2007
event, and a similar demand for seats by the planet's
top players is expected to again be a feature of the
2008 spectacular, billed as one of Europe's top poker
tournaments. To accommodate the growing orders for
tickets, the 2008 Irish Open will be split into two day
ones, allowing for a capacity of 1 000 players.
Further details of the 2008 Irish Poker Open will be
released in the coming weeks, and information is
available on
www.irishpokeropen.com, which will carry
updates on qualification, venue, side events, betting,
offline satellites, and other pertinent detail.
