The semi-finals of the Poker Million start today, with Ciaran ‘Big C’ O’Leary front and centre waving the flag for paddypowerpoker.com!

Up here on the poker floor of Paddy Tower, sitting on our solid gold office chairs, we think that the Poker Million is small-ball stuff; we think BIGGER! Yep, how about the Poker Billion instead! We’re adding a billion*-worth of cash and prizes to our three tournaments – that’s how we roll, homeslices!

On Weds, Dec 10th and Thurs, Dec 11th @ 8pm, the Poker Billion Semis are $5 + 50c NLH speed rebuys with $250 added to each. The Poker Billion Final takes place on Fri, Dec 12th at 8pm and is a $5 + 50c NLH rebuy with $500 added PLUS a copy of Doyle Brunson’s Poker Wisdom of a Champion for the top 12 players! With some of the Godfather of Poker’s tips and tricks in your playbook, you’ll be fighting for a place at next year’s Poker Million alongside Big C and the rest of the superstars!

*Billion in Zimbabwean cents; the equivalent to $1,100! Get serious folks; we’re not giving up those solid gold office chairs, no way!
