Irish Poker Game With 1 Million Prize Pool
Paddy Power, the Irish online gaming and poker site, recently announce that the qualifying events have gotten underway for the Irish Open. A longstanding poker tournament in Europe, the Irish Open will be celebrating 25 years in the running, and for the celebration the Irish Open is going to hold the first event on Irish soil with a prize pool of 1 million.
The Irish Open will begin April 15th and will be held along with Paddy Power and PaddyPowerPoker.com, an online poker room. 50,000 of the total event prize purse is being contributed by Paddy Power, which is hosting satellite events where interested players can win their way into the Irish Open rather than paying the buy in of 3,200 for the main event….

Poker argot:
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
- POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
