Boylepoker.com and The Jackpot to host ‘Race the Champ’ with Marty Smyth at Poker for the Homeless March Madness weekend

‘Coin Flip’ charity event added to Poker for the Homeless weekend as former Miss World Rosanna Davidson takes on World Champion Marty Smyth in A-K suited vs Q-Q challenge; eight Irish Open champions confirmed, and team event almost sold out
Race the Champ, starting at 8 p.m. on Friday evening ahead of the main event at 9 p.m., will give players the chance to race pot-limit Omaha world champion Marty Smyth. Marty’s opponent will choose either A-K suited or Q-Q, while Marty will receive the hole card not chosen by his opponent. They then play out the hand with the winner having the highest poker hand.
Players can buy in for €20 and the first round will see Marty’s opponents allowed multiple rebuys. Players who win their coin flip will progress to the next round until one player remains. If Marty wins, the charity receives all the buy in money, and if his opponent wins he gets to keep half the cash with the charity benefitting from the other half.
The first hand of Race the Champ will be between former Miss World Rosanna Davidson and Smyth.


Oh and only one spot left on the team event list!!!!!

Wild unlucky sumrph and after u dogged a set of three's on the turn with a straight flush on the river and all (all in pre) no justice

The guy u lost to won it in the end and to say he didnt play (and run) well would be a complete lie, the kid couldnt find the fold button the whole FT, although i had him all in for his tourny life with A7c Vs KQo, flop an A turn a Q river K!

Taking down the Fitz game tonight so that will pull be back from the edge of the liffy!!
