Paddy Power Poker Irish Winter Festival Starts Today

Saturday October 25, 2008

Ireland is having a bit of a poker rush at the moment. Only a week after Boyle Poker's Irish Poker Open, Paddy Power Poker are now all set for this weekend's Irish Masters Main Event.

Kicking off tomorrow, the main event is a €1,500 buy in tournament, with super satellites running this evening. For those with a smaller budget there are also two smaller tournaments, a €200 rebuy on Sunday and a €500 freezeout on Monday.

Expected to play the big one are PaddyP ower Poker pro Ciaran O'Leary, mad Irish Buddhist Andy Black, England's very own Neil Channing and Pot Limit Omaha and Bluff Europe font cover star Marty Smith.

There's even a betting market on offer for you to have a flutter on the tournament. Those interested in trying to pick a winner should go here.
