Ireland was swell
Posted by Annette Melton on Tuesday Apr 6, 2010
Ireland was swell. The weather was a tad bit on the cool side especially at night however that’s when it was at it’s best to be uncovered. Temple Bar I would have to say is where the night life is and in the Burlington hotel’s poker room the spot light was on the final few survivors during the 2010 Irish Open main event. Whereas team 888 poker shone the light on our star vip Tyler Bonkowski. Ty placed 19th out of 708 runners and cashed over 13’000 euro. It was a great boost to his confidence and for the next leg on his calendar for live tournaments. His next stop is.. Vegas for the WSOP! I’d have to say this past week was definitely a successful and friendly, fun ride. If you were one of the lucky few who qualified online through 888 such as David Docherty or Papa Jack then you were also apart of all the genious bookings that Lucy (new UK & Ireland Manager) had organised for us. Such as, the Guinness tour and the Irish dance classes as well as the cosy restraunts we tended to frequent as a group for dinner and no-one was left without a thought of knowing that they were apart of Team 888. It was also great to meet some of the other vips who couldn’t make the 2010 Aussie Millions in January such as Jolmer. Who insists he could not make it due to pre-booked commitments or as Ernst likes to tell it as a fear of flying as it’s a long way from Holland to Australia. All in all I too was welcomed by the team and felt the 888 bond due to our ongoing socialities and of course the poker. Let’s hope our next trip will bring even more adventure and perhaps a WSOP title to 888 poker.
