Up to now none of the countries dominated the world’s casino poker gambling industry. But after the Ladbrokes Poker Million tournament, which took place last week in London, this situation has changed. Although the participants of the tournament came from many different countries, it was Ireland that unexpectedly overrun the final table. Lately, thanks to very good betting offers, this country has really improved its position on the gambling market. The liberalization of the Irish market has also largely contributed to this progress, and motivated many gifted Irish players to enter the game.

This year’s Poker Millions were organized and hosted by the Ladbrokes, who encouraged people from all over the world to enter their tournament, and win one million dollar award. As for the Ladbrokes, in the past they were only a very popular land-based casino, but now, by opening an online casino and entering the poker gambling industry, they have largely extended their offer. The past several years were very good for this company, because the number of serious poker players has visibly increased.

Currently they are one of the most respected companies on the market.
The top prize of the Poker Million tournament was won by Marty Smyth. However, in order to enjoy the award, he had to beat several serious Irish poker players, who fought to the very end. Other gamblers at the final table were as follows: Kevin Allen (UK), Ciaran O’Learyy, Eoghan O’Dea, Svein Petter Nielsen (Norway) and Liam Flood.
