To help twist the President’s arm to take part in Europe’s longest running poker tournament Paddy enlisted the help of sexy cheerleaders Pippa O’Connor and Sara Kavanagh as well as pledging to add $1,000,000 to the tournament prize fund should President Obama accept the invitation.

President Obama, a self-confessed Texas Holdem Poker player, has already expressed an interest in visiting Ireland and has Irish roots that can be traced as far back as the 1850’s.

Paddy Power said “With a name like O’Bama there has to be a strong Irish connection so we’re hoping that if the President has business on this side of the Atlantic at the start of April he may just stop by and try his luck”
