(PRWEB) June 18, 2006 -- The sun has gone to paddypowerpoker.com's head. To celebrate the long summer evenings paddypowerpoker.com is hosting a 10 day festival of sun-kissed events starting on 20 June 2006 giving players a chance to pot commit a snooker champion and snooker a poker champion.
Pro series
The centrepiece of the festival is a $5 Pro Series rebuy giving players the opportunity to test their skills against former world snooker champ, Ken Doherty, WSOP bracelet winner Donnacha O'Dea, WSOP final tableists Padraig Parkinson and Scott Gray and Poker Million winner Liam Flood.
WSOP and giveaways
One shrewd (or lucky!) poker player will earn a $12,500 trip to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event in Las Vegas for a paltry $10 and with a smattering of giveaway's, freeroll's and money added tournaments the sunshine is likely to continue long after the weather has broken.
