Final Chance to Win Your Way to the €2 Million Guaranteed Irish Poker Open for $1

April's awesomest online poker giveaway -- the paddypowerpoker.com $1 shootout for a €3,500 ticket to the 26th Irish Poker Open.

(PRWeb) April 1, 2007 -- Monday 2 April at 8 p.m. sees the seventh and final paddypowerpoker.com $1 shootout where one player walks away with a €3,500 ticket to the 26th Irish Open 2007 held in Dublin over Easter weekend 2007.

This is the final opportunity for players to qualify online for Europe's hottest tournament.

This year's event, which will be filmed for TV (RTE and Challenge), is the biggest in Europe with a €2 million guaranteed prize pool and a capacity for 700 players paying €3,300 (+€200 reg) to play over Easter Weekend 2007 against the best players in the world.

What sets the Irish Open apart from other poker tournaments is its historic legacy, unique atmosphere, famous Irish hospitality and legendary reputation for camaraderie and 'craic'.

Last year, Dubliner Vincent Melinn won the €350,000 first prize in only his second ever live tournament and the final table was broadcast live across Europe -- a world's first. This year the event doubles in size.
