Another weekend roundup…

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Hey folks, another short post listing some of what’s going on paddypowerpoker.com this weekend:

  1. Win your seat at one of Ireland’s must-attend poker tournaments, the Irish Winter Festival, on Sunday evening at 9pm
  2. You can start your quest to play in the World Series of Poker $10,000 Main Event by playing some of the many feeder satellites live on paddypowerpoker.com or our weekly Super Satellite tournament on Sundays at 8pm
  3. Our May Day Mayhem raked hands race is continuing and there may still be time to play your way into the prize winning spots
  4. Continue trying to snag the big prizes in the Billionth Hand promotion by playing our cash tables - any type of poker, any stakes!

Enjoy and see you on Monday, I’ll try to get another caption competition going next week for another token or two :)

Caption Competition!

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

After listening to the loyal blog readers who responded to my question last week, I’ve decided to give away a WSOP Executive Package Sit ‘n’ Go token (worth €24) to whoever can come up with the best caption to the photo below; what is WSOP bracelet winner Ciarán O’Leary thinking?

Sleeping satellites…

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

Our Irish Winter Festival, World Series of Poker and other satellites are really attracting a lot of players at the moment - maybe the arrival of the summer is reminding all of us that we need a holiday and how better to relax than travelling on Paddy Power Poker’s dollar and playing some poker? With that in mind, I think we’ll run another of our hilarious (or not) photo caption competitions next week and give away a feeder satellite token to the winner, so what do you think: should we give away an IWF feeder token or a WSOP feeder token? This is assuming you don’t all win tickets in the grand final sats over the weekend, good luck to those who try!

In the meantime, I hope you are all giving a lash at our May Day Mayhem promotion (which started only yesterday), remember that the top 10 players who amass the most raked hands at table stakes $0.25/$0.50 and higher between May 1st and May 14th will snag some tasty cash prizes. The leaderboard is updated daily, so you can check your progress and those just outside the top 10 can make a push for glory! Have a great weekend :)
