Couple this with the fact that Irish Open 2008 now has a guaranteed €3,000,000 prize pool (increased by a massive €1,000,000 since last year) and it makes the thought of winning a sponsored package to the tournament a mouth-watering prospect for CelebPoker's players.

The announcement comes off the back of the unprecedented success of Team CelebPoker - CelebPoker's ongoing and exclusive promotion to provide online poker players with the chance to compete and represent the brand at the most prestigious live poker events in the world.
