Boylepoker $2,500 Added, $1 World Cup Bad Beat FreezeoutIn Aftermath of Ireland’s World Cup Defeat to France Irish Poker Room Offers Fans Some Cheer |
|
France’s Thierry Henry’s now infamous ‘hand of God’ goal in last night’s crucial World Cup 2010 play-off qualifier in Paris killed Ireland’s hope of making South Africa next summer but soccer and poker fans can take some cheer from tonight’s clever Boylepoker.com promotion.
The Irish poker room is hosting a special £1 World Cup Bad Beat Freezeout with $2,500 added to celebrate Ireland’s triumphant display at Stade de France which saw them beat the former world champions in 90 minutes but lose in extra time due to a goal scored after Thierry Henry handled the ball twice in the box.
The $1 freezeout takes place tonight, Thursday Nov. 19 at 9 p.m. GMT with a 2,000 chips starting stack and eight minute blinds.
The will be three $100 bounties in the game — HenryIsACheat, HenryIsMerde, HenryOfGod, and if a French player wins the tournament Boylepoker.com will replay the tournament (an action unlikely in the football match) and add another $2,500.
Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boylepoker.com said, “A whole nation has been sickened by the events of last night, but the bad beat Henry put on the country does not diminish the heroic endeavours of the Irish team in Paris. To celebrate this and to cheer fans up, we decided to give them something to look forward to by adding $2,500 to the prize pool in tonight’s $1 World Cup Bad Beat Freezeout.
