Players who take part in the live tournament will be able to win a seat at the Irish Open even if they miss out at the live event, as they will be given a second chance by Paddy Power Poker to get to Dublin.  All players will be offered a seat in a Buy One Get One Free-Roll tournament on Paddy Power Poker, where an Irish Open seat will be offered as first prize.  Full details of the Buy One Get One Free-Roll will be provided to players at the live satellite.

“It is great to partner with such a legendary poker venue as the Vic to facilitate this live Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 2010 super satellite”, said Eric Booth, Head of Poker at Paddy Power Poker.  “With 5 Irish Open packages guaranteed we should see a big turnout; the Vic is the spiritual home of London poker and favourite haunt of former Irish Open champ Neil Channing so there’s nowhere better for our London super sat to run!”

Rebuy qualifiers to the live event run on Paddy Power Poker each Saturday and Wednesday evening, with buy-in set at £7 and one seat guaranteed once a minimum of 5 players take part.

The Paddy Power Poker Irish Open 2010 takes place in the Burlington Hotel in Dublin from Friday 2nd – Monday 5th April 2010. Weekly super satellites to the Irish Open 2010 Main Event run on Paddy Power Poker each Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening, with a variety of feeders running daily.
