Press Release

Win a seat at one of Europe?s biggest tournaments for free

14th January

paddypowerpoker.com today launches daily freeroll tournaments to the Irish Open 2010, with Irish Open satellite tokens to be won in more than a dozen tournaments each week.  Two Irish Open freeroll (free-to-play) tournaments will take place daily from Saturday through Thursday at 7.30pm and 9.30pm, with a special Irish Open freeroll with $200 in satellite tokens scheduled each Friday evening at 8pm. 

The Irish Open freerolls appear in the paddypowerpoker.com tournament lobby 90 minutes before each one is due to begin; this helps to ensure that all players will have an equal chance to register and take part. 

Any player who wins a paddypowerpoker.com Irish Open ticket after participating in the freerolls and going on to win a super satellite tournament will be eligible to take part in the €100,000 Sole Survivor qualifier promotion in April.

“We want to give all of our players, even those who are temporarily light in the wallet, a chance to win their way to the Irish Open 2010”, said Paddy Power, Communications Manager at paddypowerpoker.com.  “Our daily freerolls are perfect for new players with a limited bankroll or existing players who want the chance to get to one of the biggest live events for free; if I wasn’t working at the Irish Open I’d be playing these myself!”

The paddypowerpoker.com 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 paddypowerpoker.com each Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evening, with a variety of feeders running daily.
