Irish Open To Transform Live Poker CoverageRevolutionary Live Coverage Set For The 2011 Irish Poker Open |
|
With the Irish Open 2011 just around the corner, PaddyPowerPoker.com has today released some exciting information about the prestigious event’s revolutionary online coverage.
Firstly, live online coverage begins on the live stream and blog at 1.00 p.m. on Friday, Apr. 22 and will continue throughout Easter weekend until a winner is found on Apr. 25.
The voice of poker, Jessie May will be at the centre of all the action with a studio in the heart of the event. As anchor, May will conduct live interviews and pass to and from reporters and cameras spread out across the tournament floor.
The live stream will give out all the latest information, plus there will be a live feature table with running commentary. Those who cannot make it to Dublin’s Burlington Hotel or are hoping to support a friend or family member from afar can do so via the live streaming functionality for the iPhone and/or can interact via social media.
There will be many exclusive promotions for viewers to get in on such as daily iPad freerolls, a fantastic reload bonus, and a World Series of Poker Experience package. PaddyPower.com will be offering live betting in a variety of markets during the tournament which will also be accessible via the live stream.
Excited about the event and his role, Jessie May said, “The Irish Open is my favourite tournament of the year and this year we’re giving online coverage of live poker a much-needed overhaul. It’s going to be revolutionary – more of an action-packed web-show than a basic live stream – with roving reporters covering every inch of the room, on-the-fly interviews, up-to-the-minute chip counts on our news ticker, a feature table, blog, twitter, Facebook. You name it we’ve got it.
“We’re going to transport viewers from their sofa right to the heart of this unique tournament in a way no-one has managed to do before and I for one can’t wait. See you in Dublin!”
There is still time to qualify for one of the world’s most well-loved poker festivals via the site’s Last Chance Saloon and satellites this coming Sunday and Monday.
