Sunday the 8th of November:

Just a wee note about the game of poker, the illustrious SCOOP Poker Open in association with the SCOOP Foundation (Saving Children Out Of Poverty) in association with paddypower.com (Shuffling Cards On Line Poker!!) in association with the CAST Foundry, Dublin (Statue Champions Of Our People!!!!) in association with you, taking place this Sunday, the 8th of November to raise funds for the schools we support; if you could pass on this message to any folks you think may want to pop down, i'd appreciate it greatly.

So aye, its on this Sunday, the 8th of November from 5.30pm in Pygmalion on South William St, Dublin. It should be wrapped up nicely for 10.30. If you are still the last man or woman standing you will not only be crowned SCOOP Poker Champ, receive the 1st cash prize and a custom made, one of a kind solid bronze statue, but the leaids at paddypower.com have also given us every amateur poker players dream- a place on a 10 player entry-satellite to the Irish Poker Open, where top prize is €1,000,000 big ones-  well if you play your cards right ;)

paddypower.com are also giving every player a free 5 euro bet for any sit n go & multi player online tournament. Turn a fiver into a months rent no prob!

There are also cash prizes for the top 10% of players.

Should be a few free beers floatin round too.

Regarding the trophy, rumour has it the CAST Foundry of Dublin (expert bronze statue makers) are going to bring down a bucket of rubber plastic and take a mould of the winners arm and hand, which will be cast in bronze to become the very trophy holding up two cards. Details of this unique, and very heavy, bronze statue are down to fingerprints and tiny hairs. It really will be a one of a kind trophy.

Buy-in is €30 with unlimited rebuys for the first two and a half hours and a top-up option at the break.

Peace out and hope to see you at the game,

Andy
