After the roaring success of last year's event, I think it's safe to say that every poker nut would love a free entry into next year's Irish Poker Open. Well, one man has that opportunity, if only he'd allow himself to be found!
Online poker giants, Paddy Power, are offering one lucky chap a seat in the 2007 Irish Poker Open, absolutely free. And that fortunate fellow is the delightfully named Hoa Mahn Nguyen.
Currently residing in Sunnyvale, California, Nguyen was the unfortunate bubble boy in this year's World Series of Poker Main Event. Outlasting thousands of other poker enthusiasts, Nguyen made it all the way to the last several hundred before finally taking that dreaded bubble spot that so many players fear. And, as a consolation for the occurrences of that dark day, Paddy Power are offering a shoulder to cry on and a free ticket into their popular annual comp.
But where the eck is he?? No one knows!
So, if you want to help Nguyen play the Irish Open for diddly squat, then hand him in, and pronto!
This year’s event, which will be filmed for TV, is the biggest in Europe with a €2 million guaranteed prize pool and a capacity for 800 players paying €3,300 (+€200 reg) to play over Easter Weekend 2007 against the best players in the world. So, do whatever you can to help.
Call us, call him, email his brother, pass a note to his aunt, do whatever it takes to get Hoa Mahn to Dublin over Easter weekend for the Irish Open 2007. His package includes a ticket into the main event, flights and accommodation, it's something he just can't afford to miss, especially after bubbling!
Time for the Beagle Bugle I guess....
NGUYEN! MOVE YOUR ASS!!!
