Poker Legend Doyle Brunson Slated to Play at 2008 Irish Open

San Jose, Costa Rica, March 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The world’s most renowned and recognized poker legend has decided to take a seat in this year’s Irish Open poker tournament. With a guaranteed prize pool of at least 3 million Euros, the payouts at this event make it the richest in all of Europe. This tournament can accommodate up to 1,000 players, making competition very stiff. The event will be televised live, throughout Europe.

If any player can handle the talent already on tap for the Irish Open, it is the United States’ own legend, Doyle Brunson. Poker’s cowboy looks to win over the European players with his trademark hat and mastery of the game. With over $5 million in lifetime tournament winnings, and countless millions in cash game winnings under his belt, coupled with an impressive 10 World Series of Poker bracelets, Brunson is sure to make the competition sit up and take notes.

With a buy-in of 4,200 Euros, the main event of this tournament is not for the average poker player. This high stakes tournament will draw some of the poker world’s finest players. This week-long event looks to draw crowds from all over Europe, with sold out crowds for nearly all of the scheduled events. Brunson’s field is slated to begin on Monday, March 24 at 4 pm local time.
