The IPO 2009

Just when my liver had recovered from last year this happens....

"We are launching the promotion campaign for the BoylePoker.com IPO from today. As I say every year, the only reason this tournament can take place is with the help and enthusiasm of every poker player in the country.
We need you to tell everyone you know that they should register on BoylePoker.com today if they want to play. It is very likely that we will sell out within a few weeks from today and we are going to make sure that 2009 is a year to remember for all.

The BoylePoker.com International Poker Open is going to be one of the highlights in European tournament poker for 2009. 1,000 seats are open to players now.
Please be sure to book early. Last year we were sold out over one month before the event and this year we're expecting much higher demand...Please note, you must register and pay your buy-in online through BoylePoker.com.

This is the craziest poker festival I've ever played and has been discribed by some as Glastonbury with cards. Check out some of the blogs from last years mayhem!

I'm sure that we can we can send a bunch of players over for this event and get a great result. It should sell out in a month (or I'm $100 down) so I'd advise registering NOW!

Don't miss out on the madness!
