In the month of March there will be millions of dollar up for grabs on the premier online poker room. In addition to the usual $12.5 million in monthly guarantees, paddypowerpoker.com will offer two of the biggest online tournaments to be held this month.

Starting things off right will be the $2 Million Guaranteed, the single largest online tournament paddypowerpoker.com has ever held. With a buy-in of $1,580 the event will likely bring some of the biggest online players in the world. The event kicks off today at 8 p.m. with a minimum first place prize of $400,000 with a number of satellites leading up to the online poker epic.

If the $2 Million Guaranteed is a little too soon for your taste then mark March 19-24 on your calendar because paddypowerpoker.com’s flagship event will take place on those dates.

We’re talking, of course, about the €3 Million Guaranteed Irish Poker Open. The Irish Poker Open is one of the most prestigious events in professional card-playing and the second longest running poker tournament in the world. Former champions include Marty Smyth, Joe Beevers and Noel Furlong.

World-renowned poker pro Doyle Brunson has already confirmed his seat in the tournament where the champion receives the coveted Terry Rogers Memorial Trophy and a minimum of €800,000 for first place.

Paddy Power, communications manager for paddypowerpoker.com, mentioned he was thrilled to be offering exciting options in both live and online poker.

“The Irish Open and the $2 Million Guaranteed are two world class events and our players will be spoiled for choice of big money tournaments this month,” he said. “In fact the combined prize pools of all the Irish Open festival events, the $2 million Guaranteed and our regular scheduled tournaments will amount to more than $20 million in guarantees!”

Power suggested registering for the Irish Poker Open early as last year was a complete sellout. Fortunately paddypowerpoker.com is running a number of satellites that range from $55 to $320 so there is something for players with any size of bankroll.
