Jim Carr obituary
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Club regular Jim Carr. In every poker community, there...
Brad Owen, one of the biggest names in poker, is visiting the JP Poker Card Club on March 20th to play cash games and vlog his experience.
Owen arranged the trip after Irish fans of his hugely popular YouTube channel heard he was visiting Ireland and was keen to organise a poker Meet and Greet. An exciting cash games session is now scheduled with Owen arriving at the Club at 3pm on Friday, March 20.
And, if this wasn’t exciting enough, all players will get a 10% bonus on their first buy-in – up to a maximum of €25.
Vlog pioneerOwen’s YouTube channel – which now has nearly 800,000 subscribers – has been going ever since he moved to Vegas in the early 2010s. He was one of the first poker vloggers in the world, capturing footage as he played low-stakes cash games at casinos all over Vegas and giving fans a unique window into the world of a pro poker player.
Owen gradually moved on to bigger games before co-founding the Lodge Card Club with Andrew Neeme in Austin, Texas. His Poker at the Lodge live stream attracts thousands of viewers.
JP McCann, who launched JP Poker two years ago, said: “The fact that Brad Owen is coming to play at our Club is HUGE news. Brad is well-known all over the world so it’s fantastic that he’ll be playing in Tallaght and vlogging his trip. Brad will be in Ireland on a family holiday but he also wanted to get a Meet and Greet sorted with local players. It’s very exciting.
“We’ll have up to 12 tables up and running which means a maximum of 106 players – and slightly fewer if we have PLO running as well those games are eight-handed. People definitely need to reserve their spot.”
