The Irish Open is the oldest and most venerated poker tournament in Europe, and you would have thought the organisers would have it running like a well-oiled machine by now.

Not so, as paddypowerpoker.com staff have been so busy at the Irish Open they forgot to add €3,000 to the prizepool of last Saturday’s €300 rebuy pot limit Omaha which was won by ‘man of the moment’ and Irish poker legend Andrew Black.

However, in true paddypowerpoker.com style they have turned the error into something to celebrate as the company has pledged to donate the full amount to Padraig Parkinson’s Simon Dublin charity project for the homeless.
