Irish Open 2007 Final Table
It’s funny to think about the universal appeal that poker has. It stretches across cultural, ethnic and generational boundaries and, from knowing some of the players I’ve faced across the felt over the years, even boundaries of decency and taste!
I’ve been looking through the list of registered players for the 2008 Irish Open and there are all sorts signed up; Welsh, Bulgarians, Finns, Texans, Corkonians and others with difficult-to-comprehend accents!
It’s part of what makes poker great, when you can have English and Irish, American and Russian, German and Pole, Northsider and Southsider sitting across the table from the other without screamed obscenities or a threat of military action. In my opinion, that sort of stuff is better left for when we’re online and the set we’ve hit on the flop has been undone by a runner runner flush!
Last year the final 3 players competing for the Irish Open title were an Irishman, an Englishman and a Canadian. So how many nationalities do you think will be represented on the Final Table in Citywest on March 24th 2008? I’m thinking at least 4….
