Dara O’Kearney and David Lappin. A dynamic duo. Carved from authenticity, ETCHED in our minds every single month via the Chip Race (and Dara’s Shirts on the IPT Live circuit)

It’s been a big week for our premier poker voices. One they will remember.

Dara O Kearney signs with Paddy Power Power as Ambassador while Mr David K. Lappin is the Newest Pokerstars Team Pro.

Both broke the news over the past 24 hours and we reached out to the Chip Race Co-hosts

Speaking with Live Poker Updates this week David told me :

“ The most important thing for Dara and I was to partner with a company we could trust, a company that cares about good poker, by which I mean safe poker for the players. In the end, we found two of them! Dara is one of the game’s great ambassadors and he will be an incredible asset for paddypowerpoker.

I am very fortunate to be chosen by Pokerstars and I will do my utmost to give them value in the coming year by championing their live events, their satellite schedule and their online offering. In terms of The Chip Race, watch this space. We have a big announcement coming soon.

Dara O Kearney echoed the sentiment of his co-host.

“I’m delighted and honoured to be joining such a quintessentially Irish success story. When I started playing 20 years ago, Paddy was the main site I grinded on and it’s been a constant for me ever since. While I was lucky enough to have a number of different offers this time around, it was important to me to choose a company I trust on integrity issues, and can have a bit of craic with”

We couldn’t be happier for the 2 guys and we wish them all the very best on their latest adventure!
