PaddyPowerPoker Hunting Down WSOP �Bubble Boy�

PaddyPowerPoker.com is appealing to the poker community in a quest to track down Hoa Mahn Nguyen, the last person knocked out of the World Series of Poker Main Event before the money.

Traditionally dubbed the �bubble boy,� the unlucky player who is the last to leave the WSOP Main Event without winning any money invests $10,000 but heartbreakingly leaves with no return on it. Accordingly, PaddyPowerPoker.com wants to offer Nguyen who is reportedly from Sunnyvale, California, a chance for major tournament success at their Irish Open 2007 competition.

If Nguyen can be found, he will enjoy an Irish Open 2007 prize package which includes a ticket into the main event as well as flights and accommodation.

The Irish Open event, which will be filmed for TV, is the biggest in Europe with a �2 million guaranteed prizepool and the capacity for 800 players paying �3,300 (+�200 registration) to play over Easter weekend 2007.

Last year, Dubliner Vincent Melinn won the �350,000 first prize in only his second ever live tournament.
