Bringing Poker to Developing Nations

TheDuck32

Its time for the poker players of Ireland to dig deep and support one of their own, Donal Mac Aonghusa is leaving our shores and going to The Gambia for a year with the Volunteer Services Overseas (VSO). Donal’s wife, Fionnuala will spend the year teaching childern with special need is this extremely poor African nation.
I cannot confirm that this is fact yet but one can only assume that while this is going on Donal will endeavour to educate the adult population of the country in the ways of Texas Hold’em, with advance classes for the ones who show promise in pot limit Omaha.
I for one cannot think of a more noble act for a poker player and I suppose I will have to concede that the endeavour his wife is undertaking is fairly impressive also.

How can I help I hear you cry, well it’s easy. There is a €50 rebuy charity tournament being held in Galway on the 23rd of May in the Westwood Hotel.
Andy Black will be heading a galaxy of stars that will be attending in order to do their piece and Andy will be holding a Q&A Masterclass during the break.
The event kicks of at 8pm and they will be showing the Champions League Final on a big screen and have full bar service on the night.

Full details of the events has been added to the tournament section.

Good luck with this, hope the champs league doesn't lead to you losing much support for it as it is a good cause.

Well we will have a screen in the poker room showing the game so hopefully nobody will use this as an excuse not to attend.

Unless they are actually going to or playing in the match,this will of course be accepted as a valid excuse.
