Ladies Event Making a Debut at the 2008 Irish Open

Paddy Power Poker announced the schedule for next year’s Irish Poker Open this past weekend. Making a debut at the event will be a ladies event.

'I am very excited about it. I have always felt something of a personal compunction to help bring more women into the game,' said Nikki Newman, Paddy Power Poker head of poker.

'Colette Doherty, Irene Tier and Jenny Heggerty (past Irish Poker Open winners) showed us just how much power there is in the Irish ladies game. So what better backdrop could there be for a ladies poker event than the Irish Open itself!'

The Irish Poker Open will be taking place in March 2008 and will be hosted by the Citywest Hotel in Dublin. The Main Event is a €1,500 buy in No Limit Hold’em Freezeout being held over two days. Also on the schedule is a €400 Pot Limit Omaha event, as well as a €270+€30+€30 No Limit Hold’em ‘Double Chance Scalp’ event.

Taking place on the 24th March, the Double-Chance Scalp event will see each player starting the event with half their starting stack. They will then be able to take the second half of their chips anytime between the first hand and the first break. Each player also has a scalp chip, worth €30, which they give to the player who knocks them out of the tournament.

Players can register and pay online for any of the Irish Poker Open events at IrishPokerOpen.com.
