paddypower.com Dial-a-Bet today announces details of the Paddy Power Charity Poker Open, Scotland’s largest ever poker tournament, which will raise money for Erskine Hospital. The tournament will be made up for four heats of up to 500 players and one grand final of 40 players, to be held on Saturday 30th May.

The Erskine hospital has provided nursing and medical care for more than 70,000 patients since 1916 and it is hoped that the Paddy Power Charity Poker Open will raise thousands of pounds to help re-build shattered lives.

Other prizes include a trip for 2 to Las Vegas, VIP packages to the Paddy Power Gold Cup in 2009 at Cheltenham, and VIP packages to the Ayr Gold Cup in September 2009.
