The Paddy Power Poker 2008 Irish Open has just gotten even more enticing, which we didn't think possible. PPP is putting it all on the line here and guaranteeing a total prize pool of $4.3 Million- and no, you don't have to catch a Leprechaun to get it.
The Irish Open is already a big time event. As one of the largest in Europe, THE largest in Ireland, and the second longest pro poker event in the world (after the World Sereis of Poker), the Irish Open has been drawing players from around the globe for what will be 27 years next Easter.
Running from March 19-24 at a new location (the Citywest Hotel, Leisure, and Golf Resort), the event has been called a "poker festival" more often than a poker tournament, and you an expect =to see plenty of big name pros in the mix with the locals and the lucky- like those who qualify and win a Paddy Poker 2008 Irish Open prize package.
Now that there is more than four million dollars guaranteed to be in the prize pool, they are going to have to beat off the players with a stick (which we understand to be part of the fun).
Last year over 700 players showed up to create the biggest playing field ever in Europe. This, coupled with the increased buy in (jumping from $4,500 to $6,400) makes PPP confident in guaranteeing the giant prize pool.
What, the buy in has gone up? It's true, but all the more reason for you to simply win your way in. So check out our
