Huge Money Up for Grabs
Up for grabs may imply that just anyone can win the money at Paddy Power Poker
and online casino gambling site, and that is actually not the case. The month of
March is actually a busy month for the company and the top land and online poker
professionals from all over the world will compete in Paddy Power’s two
signature events – the internet based No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout tournament and
the Irish Poker Open. Theses two annual events bring some of the luckiest
amateurs out of the woodwork and the most skilled professionals to the poker
tables.
The No-Limit Hold'em Freezeout online casino tournament actually begins tomorrow
and has a $2 million guaranteed prize pool. And with a $2 million prize-pool,
this tournament is one of the largest poker tournament events on the internet
(Full Tilt offers similarly high prize pools in the sites Online Poker Series).
Over the past several weeks internet poker gamblers have been able to qualify
for the Freezeout tourney through satellite tournaments on the Paddy Power
online casinos site. The satellite’s have boasted low buy-ins for as little as
$3. The tournament buy-in though is much heftier, tournament poker players will
shell out $1,500 to compete in the Freezeout – and while that may seem like a
lot, the top event winner will walk with more than $400,000.
For those poker players who are more skilled outside of the online casinos and
internet poker rooms, Paddy Power’s annual Irish Poker Open also draws players
from all over the globe to compete in what is one of the oldest land poker
tourneys in the world. The Irish Open will run at the end of March, from the
19th to the 25th. Paddy Power anticipates that the event will offer a prize pool
of more than the guaranteed $3 million, but that will ultimately depend on the
number of poker players that enter the Irish Open.
