Any players heading over to County Cork will be hoping that success in the sixth annual Irish Poker Classic might divert some of the lips that were otherwise bound for the Blarney Stone.
The combination of suckers and rocks is expected to produce some lip-smacking poker action and the organisers at the Macau Sporting Club are salivating at the prospect of the main event.
It begins tomorrow and is scheduled to last three days but it is the €150,000 guaranteed prize pool that is proving the biggest draw.
As is common in Irish poker, the tournament is a Deep-Stack special. Players will start with 15,000 chips and the levels will only increase every seventy-five minutes.
Some big names are expected to touch the tablecloth and they will all be hoping to see some brown trout.
Roy ‘The Boy Brindley, Nicky Power and Annette Obrestad are already confirmed and many more high rollers will breeze in tomorrow.
For anyone not daunted by the €1,500 buy in, it promises to be a great opportunity to dress up to your nines, fill your drink links and play poker against some real head-the-balls.
