Win £4,000 Irish Open Package and play for a share of £2million
Paddy Power are challenging you to put your poker skills to the test in our exclusive tournament, the talkSPORT Freeroll Invitational. Go up against talkSPORT presenters and listeners for the chance to win daily cash prizes, and maybe even a seat at the Irish Poker Open worth more than £3,000.
Every day for a week Paddy Power will be hosting free to enter freeroll poker tournaments, exclusive to talkSPORT. There will be a $100 prize pool up for grabs for the top finishers in every freeroll. talkSPORT presenter's will also be taking part in a number of tournaments - knock one of them out and you'll secure yourself $100 on the spot.
The top 10 finishers in each of the daily tournaments will win a seat at the talkSPORT Series Final, taking place on Wednesday 8th February. Make it to that final and you'll be going head-to-head against fellow talkSPORT listeners for the chance to win a seat at the Irish Open where you could find yourself playing for a share of the cool £2million prize pool.
And as if a seat at the tournament worth £3,000 wasn't enough, the series winner will also bag £1,000 for the trip.
The freeroll tournaments will run from Monday 30th January until Sunday 5th February. To take part, download the PaddyPowerPoker.com software and register for the 'talkSPORT Freeroll Invitational' using the password listed below.
