As you know, we’ve extended a special invitation to President Obama to take part in the Irish Open 2010 this April - and if he shows up we’ll add $1,000,000 to the prizepool! President Obama is a known poker player, having taken part in Dealer’s Choice games while he was a state representative in Illinois (supposedly he prefered Stud to Holdem and was a cautious player) so maybe he’ll take us up on the offer. How cool would that be!!!!
There is our regular Thursday night Irish Open Ticket Only super satellite on tonight at 7.30pm - a great way of getting to play without having to pad out the prizepool for the rest of the package; who needs accommodation when the tables stay open so late?!!!
Onto the caption competition…

It’s Paddy outside the US Embassy in Dublin, hand delivering the invitation to Obama along with some sexy cheerleading types! Can you come up with a good / funny / clever caption for this? The winner gets an Irish Open feeder token worth €16.50 + €1.50; please remember to leave your poker nickname (screenname) so that I can award the token if you win!
Still waiting to hear from Obama…
