Irish Poker Championship final table set

The PartyPoker Irish Championship final table has been set, following the exhausting two days of play at the Radisson SAS Hotel in Galway, Ireland.
The pompously daring title of 2009’s first crucial poker tournament, with 298 players counting famous players like Ciaran O'Leary, Robert Williamson III, Padraig Parkinson, Jon Kalmar, Marty Smyth, Marcel Luske, Noel Furlong, Mike Sexton, Steven Wong and Dutch pop star Maud Mulder and Polish television personality Aga Rylik. As of now, remaining eight players remain are playing for the first place that would offer £180,000.
Keith McFadden of Donegal is the chip leader with €698,000 whereas Michael McCool of Nottingham is declared as one among the short stacks. However, he surely does have one great poker name. It is clear that the end of the night will have enough reasons for the Irish to celebrate.
Poker lovers would be able to catch the sight of this tournament on RTÉ television in February. The Irish Poker Championship has been the first crucial sponsorship in Ireland by the site. Moreover, the experience the Irish Poker Open would also make Poker quite popular in the land of potatoes and shamrock.
In the tournament, celebrities participated and played for a good cause. Mike Sexton, who is also a part of this tournament, has said “Padraig Parkinson and all those who extend a hand to help the unfortunate should take a bow and be proud of their willingness to help others. Fortunately, many poker players are joining in and giving time and money to worthwhile charities.”
