May Day Mayhem!

Don't go down on the poker table...

Modern-day pirates are sophisticated beasts; they scan communications at sea, waiting to hear the ‘Mayday, mayday!’ of a ship in trouble before speeding in to rob and pillage. The pirates of yore didn’t have the luxury of knowing whether or not their intended victims were in trouble, but hoisted the black flag nevertheless and took their chances!

We on the good ship Paddy Power Poker might joke about going down on the Queen Elizabeth, grabbing our harpoons and shivering Kate Winslett's timbers (thar she blows!), but visiting Davy Jones’ locker is not a laughing matter so we’re deadly serious (well…) about our May Day Mayhem promotion!

The special hand race promotion, running from Thursday, May 1st (May Day) to Wednesday, May 14th, will offer a range of cash prizes to the 10 players with the highest number of raked hands at table stakes $0.25 / $0.50 and higher at the end of the May Day Mayhem qualifying period.   The winner with earn $500, 2nd placed will take $350, 3rd earns $250, 4th gets $200, 5th nabs $150 and 6th through 10th earn $100 apiece.

Here be buried treasure!  Avast ye landlubbers, watch out for the white whale and don’t dare take a caulk on the poop deck!  YARRRRRRRR!
