New Event at Irish Poker Open

The Irish Poker Open, sponsored by the online poker room Paddy Power Poker, will be held over Easter next year, and there is a new event that is building even more than the normal amount of excitement. The "Double Chance Scalp" event has two elements that are guaranteed to add some fun into the event. First, players start with only half of their chips, and can request the second half anytime between the first hand and the first break. Second, each player is given a scalp token after he takes the second half of his chips. Any player going bust must give his scalp chip to the player who busted him, who can cash in on it later. The scalp chip is worth €30.
