As we head towards the dark, icy days of winter, there is arguably no better way to spend you day…and night for that matter, than playing poker online with your mates. The added advantage here is that there are literally millions of pounds and dollars up for grabs.
Irish Winter Festival by Paddy Power Poker
Irish gaming supremo, Paddy Power has embraced the changing seasons with the introduction of the Irish Winter Festival and all those poker players out there who feel they have the prowess to take on the very best, get online at Paddy Power straight away as satellite tournaments are already underway.
The Festival itself will take place from 25 – 27 October at the City West Hotel in Dublin and with a very tidy estimated prize pool in the region of €1 million, the Festival is expected to attract the masses.

Paddy Power are giving you a huge 150% bonus on your first deposit, up to $600 FREE.European Championship of Online Poker 3 (ECOOP) by Betfred Poker
Not to be outdone by their Irish rivals, Betfred poker has recently announced they will be launching the third season of the European Championship of online poker and the guaranteed prize pool is more than impressive - it is just darn imposing! Over $4 million is guaranteed, so quite frankly if you miss out on this one, you’re a jerk!
Apart from the sumptuous prize fund, there will also be 14 bracelets up for grabs, but whether they will carry the same clout as their WSOP counterparts is still out with the jury! The maiden event, a no limit holdem event, will be held on the 24 November and the buy-in will not bankrupt you, it is only $200 + $15.
The elite main events, of which there are two, will take place on the 6 & 7 December, so there will be plenty of time to chip away at the $4 mill!
Littlewoods Poker gives you the chance to Play against Celebs and win Moola too!
If you fancy your chances against two of the UK’s wonder boys, then Littlewoods Poker is the place to be. There is a £250 bounty on the heads of two superstars, and if you can beat them at their own game, then the cash is yours.
The fist contender is none other than ‘golden boots’, Tony Cascarino. He made his name as a very dangerous and accurate striker for Aston Villa, Celtic, Chelsea and Ireland and has taken his prowess from the football pitch and translated it into poker power – go on, give him a try!
The second star, whose main aim will be to trip you up at the cyber tables, is actor Michael Greco. His main claim to fame was his performance in the soapie, EastEnders, but beware he is a very accomplished poker player too.
The monthly ‘Bounty Tournaments’ will be held on the second and last Friday of every month and the buy-in is a very reasonable £5 +.50, so put your money where your mouth is and shoot them stars down!
