Cheltenham Doubler Chancer

We're giving you a second chance....

It's all about second chances this week - if you've managed to throw away your poker bankroll on the geegees or maxed your credit card paying for your mail order bride then not to worry! Whatever excuse for your shortage of funds, you can thank your lucky stars that the gnomes in Paddy Towers believe in second chances.

To help you through the week of Cheltenham we’re running a Cheltenham Double Chancer tournament at 8pm every night from March 11th – 14th. You will get 1,500 chips for your $5+50c entry, but it doesn’t end there. Included in the cost of entry is a Double Chance Rebuy that will cost you nada, zilch, nuthin’! Bust out before the break and the party ain’t over, you can use your Double Chance rebuy and jump straight back into the saddle.

That's not the end of it either - to keep you focused on cards while the Cheltenham roar is still ringing in your ears we're adding $200 to the prizepool for each of the Cheltenham Double Chancer tournaments!

Whether you are a winner or loser at the races, allow the good poker people of Paddy Power Poker throw free money at you and make it all better…
