扑克牌手在本月早些时候于都柏林展现了他们善良的一面，流浪者基金筹集组织举办了一场特殊的扑克锦标赛。

这场在爱尔兰首都的jackpot俱乐部的赛事吸引了50位参赛者，5000欧元奖池的20%将用作慈善。锦标赛最终由Bluff Europe的主力队员 Nicky Power夺得冠军，取得了1300欧元同时也是第二次获得此荣誉。

赛事大使Padraig Parkinson说，“赛事很成功！尽管跟爱尔兰公开赛如此接近，或许不如之前赛事奖金高，在世界经济衰退浪潮中这难能可贵。这对爱尔兰扑克团体意义非凡。”

“来自教会中心的凯文兄弟将用这笔钱确保那些境况糟糕的人们不会挨饿。”

“有太多人需要我们去单独致谢。每一位花费自己时间和金钱的朋友我们都铭记在心。要特别感谢PaddyPower扑克对本赛事一如既往的支持，我们迫不及待地希望下一次赛事了。”

流浪者扑克基金在过去7年，为爱尔兰流浪者慈善总共已筹集了约25万欧元。

Poker players raise almost €15k for homeless charity

Poker players got to show their charitable side in Dublin earlier this month as the Poker for the Homeless fund raising organisation hosted a special tournament.

The event at the Irish capital's Jackpot Club attracted a field of 50 runners with 20% of the €5,000 prize pool going to charity. The tournament was eventually won by Bluff Europe regular Nicky Power who pocketed €1,300 after taking the honours for the second time.


Ambassador for the event Padraig Parkinson, said, “What a success! Despite being so close to the Irish Open and perhaps not as widely promoted as previous events we beat the 2010 total, purely by accident in the middle of the biggest recession we’ve ever seen. That says so much about the Irish poker community.


“Brother Kevin at the Capuchin Day Centre will use the money wisely to make sure those worse off than us don’t go hungry.


“There are way too many people to thank individually. Everyone who gave of their time and money knows exactly who they are and they now we know. A special thanks to Paddy Power Poker for their continuing support in sponsoring the event and we can’t wait until we can do it all again.”


Poker For The Homeless has raised almost €250,000 in the last seven years for homeless charities across Ireland.
