The online poker room Paddy Power Poker has launched a promotion to coincide with the Beijing Olympics starting in a few days, the PPP Olympics. Starting the same night as the real Olympics, August 8th, the PPP version will run through the 14th with Holdem and Pot Limit Omaha events running twice a night. Players will have a chance to win money during the entire week, and there will be a big shot with the last event of the PPP Olympics, the $15,000 Gold Medal Freeroll on August 15th, which will feature as part of its prize pool a $4500 prize package to the Irish Winter Festival.
