Irish Open 2009: Ready for Action
Back to attempt a repeat of last year's success will be Neil Channing who took the title (and won a bet he'd made on himself to win having disliked the odds set on him), along with the usual smattering of famous faces from across the pond. In the run-up to kickoff the last-chance satellite is going full steam, and the huge tournament area, packed with tables, is enjoying its last moment of relative calm before the inevitable rollercoaster of action which is the yearly Irish Poker Open. Live coverage will commence at 2:00 p.m. local time, as this year's batch of professionals, hopeful qualifiers, and all-round lunatics converge for the most eagerly anticipated tournament in Europe.
