GOLDEN TICKET BONUS TO IRISH OPEN
12 October 2007
Paddy First and a golden future add to the charm
Paddy Power Poker.com has added further incentives to
the Euro 3 million Irish Open poker spectacular
scheduled for 2008.
If the player who wins the 2008 Irish Open qualified
online at the sponsor's site, he or she will win the
golden ticket of poker - free entry to Europe's premier
poker tournament for the next 5 years.
And the highest finishing Paddy Power Poker.com
qualifier will receive a free entry to the 2009 Irish
Open, even if he or she does not win the overall
tournament outright.
A company spokesman said that everything about the Irish
Open will be bigger in 2008. The buy-in has increased to
Euro 4 500, the capacity has expanded to 1 000, the
prizepool has risen to Euro 3 Million Guaranteed and now
the biggest ever bonus incentive for qualifying online
has been launched.
Online players have traditionally done well in the
event. In 2007, Thomas Finneran from Galway outlasted
more than 70 other online qualifiers to finish 7th out
of 708 players. The previous year Sligo man Pat
O'Callaghan also came close to the top prize, finishing
14th out of 339.
The spokesman added: "Thomas and Pat have blazed a trail
and shown that our online players can compete with the
very best in the world. My money is most definitely on
one of our guys taking home the Terry Rogers trophy this
year. As Paddy First we will look forward to welcoming
him or her back for the next five years!"
Qualifiers are already underway on the poker website,
with a packed schedule of daily feeders and fortnightly
Grand Final Satellites.
The 2008 Irish Open will take place over Easter Weekend,
19th - 24th March, in Citywest Hotel, Dublin, Ireland's
premier Conference, Leisure & Golf Resort.
