Paddy Power Poker launches Irish Winter Festival Last Chance Saloon

DUBLIN, Ireland -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Paddy Power Poker today announces details of its 10-day Irish Winter Festival Last Chance Saloon promotion with 40 seats to the main event guaranteed over 15 events tailor-made to suit all pockets.

The Last Chance Saloon gets underway on Monday, October 15 with two €25 + €2.50 rebuy and add-on tournaments and concludes with the Very Last Chance Saloon on Thursday, October 25.

Players who win their Irish Winter Festival seat on paddypowerpoker.com will have the added bonus of the Six Survivor promotion, where the six longest-lasting online qualifiers in the IWF live event will win a buy in to the Irish Open 2013 event, along with any prize money they might also pick up.

Paddy Power, spokesman for the company, said, “The Last Chance Saloon offers poker players a great opportunity to win their way into the Irish Winter Festival main event for a fraction of the buy in and with 40 seats guaranteed we’re bumping up the prize pool and giving at least 40 players a shot at winning some serious cash!”

The Irish Winter Festival takes place over the October bank holiday weekend (October 26-29, 2012) in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin.

Players can still purchase their €1,125 IWF ticket directly in the paddypowerpoker.com client now or in the paddypowerpoker.com VIP Store.
