Paddy Power Will Give €100,000 Prize to Survivor!

Paddy Power Poker just announced they will give out a special €100,000 cash prize at the 2009 Irish Open. Their new promotion is called €100,000 Sole Survivor and no doubt is a great way to attract more poker players to their 2009 Irish Open.

The €100,000 prize package includes €75,000 in cash, which will be paid in three installments through the year. The cash prize package will also include €25,000 in live tournament and buy-ins expenses.

Here is what communications manager from PPP said about their generous addition:

“The €100,000 package will be in addition to whatever prize money they win at the event, so it will be a real windfall for whichever qualifier stays in the game long enough to become our Sole Survivor! We always try to offer our own qualifiers something special for outlasting their peers; and this year certainly won’t disappoint.”

The 2009 Irish Open from Paddy Power Poker is scheduled to take place April 9-13 and has already brought attention of many professional poker players. The buy-in for this tournament is €3,500 but many players have already qualified by winning satellites and already won their way to 2009 Irish Open from Paddy Power Poker.

By the way, there is still time to qualify for this tournament, so you might want to check Paddy Powers official website for full tournament schedule and qualification info.
