BoylePoker.com innovates with world’s first for IPO event: online player rake to be added to prize pool in Dublin this October; ?‚¬20,000 also added by sponsor

(PRWEB) August 20, 2008 — BoylePoker.com today announced it has added ?‚¬20,000 to the prize pool of the International Poker Open 2007, the ?‚¬135 + ?‚¬15 buy-in no-limit hold’em tournament taking place at the Regency Airport Hotel, Dublin, Ireland, from October 17 to 19, 2008.

The event, which attracted over 1,000 players from across Europe in 2007, will also see a world’s first — from 17 August, 20 percent of all rake generated by pre-registered players’ will be added to the prize pool.

To participate in this event players must register through the BoylePoker.com lobby before Thursday October 16 in order to ensure their entry.

Scheduled MTT Fridays @ 8pm
$10 + $1 buy-in freezeout/12 min blinds/1 seat guaranteed

Scheduled MTT Sundays @ 8pm
$5 + $0.50 buy-in/1 rebuy & 1 add on/10 min blinds/1 seat guaranteed

Paul Spillane, head of poker at the online site, said, “This event is exceptional in that it offers poker players a professional structure and service for an amateur fee. Every table will be dealt by a professional dealer and it’s a great opportunity for players to experience a large live field over two days of poker for a fraction of the usual cost.”

With a potential prize pool of over ?‚¬200,000 the overall winner is likely to take home over ?‚¬50,000. Players can stay at the Regency Airport Hotel, just 3 km from Dublin Airport, or in a multitude of hotels and bed & breakfast accommodation close to the venue.
