Paddy Power Opens Betting on Irish Open
Paddy Power, Ireland's largest
bookmaker, today launched betting on Europe's
oldest poker tournament, the Irish Open. The
tournament, being held in Dublin from 15-17
April 2006, is one of the richest in Europe
with a €1 million guaranteed prize pool
and €50,000 added by the sponsors, paddypowerpoker.com
Continuing
a tradition of great value, innovative and punter-friendly
specials Paddy Power will refund outright bets
placed before the start of the tournament for
any player who makes the final table but does
not win.
The
final table of the event is being broadcast
on Sky Sports 2 on Easter Monday at 9pm and
Paddy Power will have betting in running.
The
event has betting 'outright' and as registrations
progress a host of other markets will spring
up. If a bet is placed on a player who does
not play in the event, the stake will be refunded.
Bets
can be placed online at PaddyPower.com –
prices are in the sports section – or
by visiting a Paddy Power shop in Ireland or
the UK (we regret we cannot accept bets from
the USA). |
