Poker isn’t all about the money. OK, it is most of the time, but in the Irish captial Dublin, at the start of June, the UK’s finest players along with celebrity players will be doing their bit for charity.

Assembled pros will include Dave ‘Devilfish’ Ulliot, The Hendon Mob, Andy Black, Scott Gray, Donnacha O’Dea, John Duthie, Julian Gardiner, ‘Mad’ Marty Wilson, Ivan Donaghy, George McKeever, who will all be playing, and available to amateur players for poker lessons.

Add in a smattering of celeb players such as Nick Leeson, Ken Doherty, Jimmy White and Steve Davis, and bona fide Irish poker legend Padraig Parkinson as host, and you’ve got a first rate poker event.
