We just discovered a brand new concept at Xtranormal.com which allows you to make your own movies by creating the script and characters. So we thought this would a perfect vehicle to allow us recreate all those special poker memories, which can viewed timed and again. We sent Ciaran off to create a movie, which recaptured a wonderful poker memory in his life and here's what he came back with!

Last nights charity event at the Jackpot was a great success. With names like Eamon Dunphy , Rosanna Davison , Ken Doherty , Nicky Power and Don Fagan in attendance the 92 runner event was always going to be a an eventful night but with over €3,000 raised for a very worthy cause the night itself proved to something special.

The tournament went on until 7.30 am this morning with one Boylepoker employee cruelly going out on the bubble in 10th place at 5am this morning !

Bubble 10th €0 Ciaran Corbett :(

Last week I managed to blag my way onto Sky Poker’s TV show - The Club. They had innocently emailed looking to get in touch with the champ (not me the other one - Marty), but were foolish enough to put a phone number in the signature of the email. I called and was able to convince the producers that it was imperative they had an IPO segment on the show!

As I mentioned in my previous blog I attended the Bolton leg of the GUKPT. Being a keen online player I decided to enter a £100 side event to test the standard of my live game. I had been out with Marty Wilson the previous night and he kindly offered to stake me (more fool him I reckoned). There were some big names in the tourney including William Van Der Hoffenberger III and John Paul Fitzroy Parker Bowles! I played pretty tight up until the first break and had just below the average stack when we came back.

Hi, my name is Ciaran Corbett, you may remember me from such telephone conversations as "Welcome to Boylesports, may I have your account number please?" or "Boylesports customer service how may I help?".

Hi, this is Ciaran, I’m the VIP Manager at Boylepoker. There are four of us in the core Poker team: Senior Games Administrator Gerry “The Rock” Bishop, Poker Operations Exec Lisa “Killer” Condon, my humble self, Ciaran “Danger” Corbett, and who could forget the big bossman, Poker Manager Paul “Lionel Hutz” Spillane.
