Marty Smyth’s WSOP Charity OfferIrishman to Donate Winnings if Voted in to WSOP Tourament of Champions |
|
The World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions is the centre of much conversation and debate of late. Things have got a good bit more interesting for fans this side of the water however as Boylepoker has today announced its campaign to have its very own sponsored pro, Marty Smyth, voted in to a table heavily weighed down with bracelets.
Not only that, the soon-to-be-married Belfast man has pledged any winnings from the $1 million freeroll to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Dublin, if he makes it in.
Support for Smyth has been streaming in on the ‘Vote for Marty’ fan page on Facebook as fans from all corners of the globe spread the good word in hopes of seeing the Irishman earn the $500,000 top prize in this prestigious tournament.
Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boylepoker.com, said, “Not only has Marty won a WSOP World Championship event, he’s won the World Open, Irish Open, and Poker Million. Surely that’s the pedigree of a true champ and his generous gesture of donating any prize money he might win to children’s charities in Ireland, should see the whole country swing behind him. It’s a no-lose situation for the children’s hospitals so get voting now people!”
Smyth qualifies for this invite-only event because of his 2008 win in the WSOP Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship. Those who wish to have their voice heard should visit wsop.com/toc, to register an account, and vote for Marty Smyth.
