Hot on the heels of the successful International Poker Open, Boylepoker.com has announced a new event with an unusual twist — the end of day chip leaders get paid.

The €40,000 guaranteed Western Open takes place at the Breaffy House Resort, Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland from Feb. 25 to 27, 2011 with a buy in of €300 + €40 and, setting it apart from traditional payout structures, will award five percent of the prize pool on day one and day two to the end of day chip leader.

Lisa Condon of Boylepoker.com said, “After hosting the hugely successful International Poker Open in Dublin we’re thrilled to be bringing live poker to one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.

“We pride ourselves at being on the cutting edge of innovation in poker and the Boylepoker.com Western Open is no exception with its guaranteed prize pool, interesting location and, uniquely, a new twist in the way the prize money will be distributed which we expect will get the poker community as excited as we are.”

The tournament offers a starting stack of 15,000 chips and one hour blinds and is accompanied by a strong side event schedule which includes:

Feb. 26: €180 + €20 freezeout with 10,000 starting stack and one hour blinds
Feb. 26: €60 + €15 hyper-turbo with 6,000 starting stack and 15 minute blinds
Feb. 27: €100 + €20 turbo with 10,000 starting stack and 30 minute blinds
