    Poker Pro To Donate WSOP Tournament of Champions Winnings To Charity – If He Qualifies!

    “Vote for Marty” Facebook Campaign Aims To Get Boylepoker pro Marty Smyth Into Invite-Only Tournament; Smyth Pledges Any Winnings To Children’s Hospitals


    Dublin, Ireland: April 1, 2010 – Boylepoker.com today launched a campaign to have its sponsored pro, Marty Smyth, voted into the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions invite-only event this summer in Las Vegas.

    Smyth has pledged to donate any winnings from the $1 million freeroll to the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Dublin.
    The winner of the 27-player tournament will walk away with $500,000.

    Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boylepoker.com, said, “Not only has Marty won a WSOP world championship event, he’s won the World Open, Irish Open, and Poker Million. Surely that’s the pedigree of a true champ and his generous gesture of donating any prize money he might win to children’s charities in Ireland, should see the whole country swing behind him. It’s a no-lose situation for the children’s hospitals so get voting now people!”

    Belfast-man Smyth, who is getting married next week after trying to reclaim his Irish Open title in Dublin this weekend, already has a sizable voting contingent on the ‘Vote for Marty’ fan page on Facebook. Visit the page to register your support - http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=109212965771789

    He qualifies for the tournament vote having won the WSOP Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship in 2008.

    Fans of the laidback pro and his unique charity fundraiser need simply visit www.wsop.com/toc <http://www.wsop.com/toc&gt; , register an account, and vote for Marty Smyth. Voters are also encouraged to use their Facebook pages to raise awareness of Smyth’s fundraising drive.
