    I hope you know St Patricks College Maynooth is actually the theology college that trains the priests. I can see how poker and prayers go together but you might want to make it NUI Maynooth instead ;)

    looks great - but adding a ticket to the WSOP will be pointless as most students would be under 21 -

    neil,why dont you put out some tickets for your
    own €500 events or the bigger €1000 buy in event you spoke of in earlier threads

    Will look at this also ... The main point is to get a certain amount added and then decide how we spread it out ... My main Goal is $10,000 added and we break it down in tickets so that we have students representing from the final
