As poker betting booms Irish bookie broadens markets on EPT with two London EPT markets and four Barcelona markets.

(PRWEB) September 7, 2006 -- Paddy Power today launches ‘outright betting’ and ‘to make final table’ betting for the London leg of the European Poker Tour (EPT), Victoria Casino, 21-24 September 2006.

It also opens a further four markets for the Barcelona leg of the EPT - ‘group betting’, ‘highest finishing group,’ ‘female to make the final table’ and Irish to make final table.’

The Barcelona EPT event, held in Casino Barcelona from 13-16 September, is one of the most popular on the tour, selling out last year and increasing its capacity to 480 this year.
