Ireland Not to be Reckoned With

The land and online casino poker gambling industry is pretty diverse and there has never really been one country dominating the industry…at least not until just last week at the Ladbrokes Poker Million tournament that took place in London last week. The tournament had a wide and varied number of entrants from all over the world and dozens of different nationalities, but surprisingly, the final table event was pretty much representing talented poker players Ireland alone. Ireland is really just beginning to jump of the band wagon of land and online casino gambling and betting offerings and perhaps it is this very liberalization of the Irish market that is at the root of the new influx of talented Irish players into the market.

Ladbrokes hosted the annual Poker Millions tourney in London and invited players from all over the world to test their skills and hope that they’d walk home with the one million dollar top prize. Ladbrokes is a highly respected in the industry – originally a top land bookie, the gambling group now has extensive interest within the online casino and poker gambling industries in addition to land and internet betting activities. Ladbrokes has really expanded in the past several years and the company is quickly building up a base of talented and loyal online poker gamblers.

As for the Ladbrokes Poker Million tournament, Marty Smyth took home the top honors and the million dollar prize – but he had a big fight on his hands with the several other Irish land and online casino poker gamblers vying for the top prize. Others at the final table included: Eoghan O’Dea, Ciaran O’Learyy, Liam Flood, Svein Petter Nielsen (Norway), and Kevin Allen (UK).
