2009 Irish Poker Homeless Event

The 2009 Irish Poker Championship is a highly anticipated event, and one reason is the former Simon Poker Day (now known as Poker for the Homeless) which will coincide with the events. The Poker for the Homeless tournament will be held on Sunday, January 4th, which is the last day of the festivities for the Irish Poker Championships. €100 will be paid to the charity out of every €300 buy in, adding to the more than €100,000 that has been raised over previous events. Padraig Parkinson is the poker pro behind the Poker for the Homeless charity.
