Monday 29th October 2007 €100,000 the Target for Simon Poker Charity Tournament
Next Saturday sees the Simon Poker Day, taking place at the PokerStars.com EPT Dublin in aid of the homeless. Organisation and support for the event has been in full flow for several months now, and the organisers have announced they are on target to reach €100,000.
This week PartyPoker donated a seat to the €2000 buy-in Irish Poker Championship which will be held in Galway from January 3rd – 6th, 2008. Also lending their support to the event are reigning World Snooker Champion John Higgins and former international footballer Tony Cascarino. They join Steve Davis and Ken Doherty, who have already confirmed their seats.
Padraig Parkinson, the amply-qualified spokesperson for the event organisers said, “It's fantastic that PartyPoker have joined the…erm… party with their Irish Poker Championship seat donation and along with John Duthie's generous EPT Monte Carlo seat giveaway we have a real headache now: how do we maximize the value of the donations? I'm confident the players in Dublin won't let us down as we aim for our target of €100,000.”
Support for the event has been staggering, with PokerStars, Paddy Power Poker, 888, Ladbrokes, Green Joker Poker, Merrion Casino Club, and Card Player Magazine all helping in one way or another. The event itself is a €300 buy in event, with €100 going directly to the charity.
