Siege Of Clonmel V
It is widely agreed upon that the 5th instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise is hailed as the greatest in its lineage. Don’t hesitate or waste the opportunity to storm the gates of The Talbot Hotel, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary for Number 5ive in the franchise. The Irish Poker Tour presents the Siege Of Clonmel V.…
An Empty PLO Seat At IPT Green Isle Festival
I recently attended the IPT MONSTER event. I was not alone. A 250k guarantee for 200 entry fee appealed, as expected, to the grassroots players who are the beating heart of poker in Ireland. They love the craic and bring back fond memories of the way we were back in the days when laughter rang…
Alexey Nifotov Is The Champion Of Madrid! – €43,250
Last night Casino Gran Via closed its doors to the first ever PartyPoker Tour event and, if I may say, what an event it was. The city of Madrid, that’s in Spain, gave us San Isidro, churros and chocolate, tapas, fiestas and so much poker. This has been the most successful event in Spain but…
Belfast’s Angela Rogan Battles It Out Heads-Up Against Her Son Darach In Madrid Side Event
One thing we have not mentioned at all this week is the food culture in Madrid. Let’s start by saying that the oldest restaurant in the world is based here in the city. Sobrino de Botín has been in continuous operation since 1725 and specialises in Castilian cuisine, particularly roast suckling pig and lamb. On…
Madrid Main Event In Full Swing
Around the 15th of May, Madrid celebrates its patron saint, San Isidro, and it’s when all “madrileños” fill the streets of the capital dressed in their traditional “chulapo” outfits, taking part in festivities across different parts of the city centre. Casino Gran Via definitely carried that same energy yesterday and, overall, it was one seriously…
From Malta to Madrid The Women Are On Fire
I’ve been keeping a close eye on a few players lately, and it’s been brilliant to watch. There are two in particular who are really standing out right now and just keep putting results together. Angela Rogan has been on a serious run. She took down the Ladies Event at the Malta Poker…
Madrid Main Event Off To A Flying Start
The origins of Madrid’s name can be traced back to the Arabic Mayrit, loosely translating to “place of many streams.” Judging by yesterday’s scenes inside Casino Gran Vía, that feels strangely appropriate. The PartyPoker Tour Madrid Live Stream officially kicked off at 4pm with a special Invitational Sit & Go and, unsurprisingly, plenty of familiar…
Send in the Armada – “We’re gonna need a bigger boat” – Record Attendance in Madrid
Spain has given the world many wonderful things, including flamenco, tapas and the idea that not eating dinner until half the planet is asleep is somehow completely normal. It has also now given us a Mini Main Event field that totally lost control in the best possible way. Once registrations closed after Day 1D, the…
Poker Holidays in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is one of Europe’s most overlooked poker destinations, but it’s one that should be firmly on the shortlist of any devoted poker tourist. The country is one of the most affordable to travel to in Europe and has several locations with active poker rooms, hosting festivals and cash game series. Sofia, the country’s capital,…
Belfast’s Angela Rogan leads Day 1B with 823,000 in €50,000 GTD Mini Main Event at the PartyPoker Tour Madrid
We have the pleasure of getting updates from Natalie Bromley who has arrived in Madrid for the PartyPoker Tour Madrid – The Casino Gran Via almost felt a little like the famous Cibeles Fountain yesterday. The majestic sculpture, sitting proudly beside the Cibeles Palace, comes with one of Madrid’s best-known legends. Rumour has it that…

Merlin Poker Tour
We’ve been in the poker world since the Chris Moneymaker boom of 2003. Grinding Sit N Go’s and tournaments on PokerStars in its heyday, whilst travelling around Central and Eastern Europe 2006-2011 was cool. We then got big into the UK poker scene (we’re from England) and played a lot of the small to medium…
