DUBLIN, Ireland, July 31 /PRNewswire/ –

– Unique Promotion This August and September Sees Online Poker Players at
Boylepoker.com get the Chance to Start the International Poker Open 2009 in
October With up to 2,000 Extra Chips

Boylepoker.com tomorrow launches its innovative VIP Club points promotion
for the International Poker Open 2009. The promotion gives players the
opportunity to increase their starting stack at the live tournament in Dublin
in October from 8,000 to 10,000 by simply playing at Boylepoker.com during
August and September and accumulating VIP Club points.

Players who earn 250 VIP Club points in August get 1,000 chips added to
their starting stack of 8,000, and 250 VIP Club Points earned in September
gives them another 1,000 chips bringing the total to 10,000.

Paul Spillane, head of poker at Boylepoker.com said of the promotion, “We
estimate that the most expensive way to get the points is to be on VIP level
1 and play multi-table tournaments, effectively costing players US$16 in
August and in September. We hope that customers get to see how easy it is to
attain and maintain a level in the VIP scheme and see how much we are giving
back in tournaments as well as experiencing other bonuses, promotions, and
our great service.”
