The Battle of the Mags Grand Final will premiere on Sky TV Channel 843 at 8pm on Friday, 14th December. Repeats will run throughout the following week.
Paddy Power, Communications Manager for paddypowerpoker.com, has been delighted with the success of Battle of the Mags. "Each of the online tournaments attracted large fields of high quality players and it would not surprise me at all if the Battle of the Mags champion went on to a huge payday at either the Irish Open or the EPT. It is obvious from the standard of play we have seen that the players have gained a real expertise in the game and learnt from the excellent strategic advice they read in their favourite magazines."
