Online
casinos
players
know
that
CelebPoker
is
all
about
the
celebs
and
good
online
poker
playing.
Now,
the
popular
online
casino
poker
room
is
sending
singer
and
songwriter
Brian
McFadden
to
the
2006
WSOP
Main
Event.
He
is
not
just
a
figure
head
here;
he
plays
a
pretty
good
game
of
poker
folks.
He
is
turning
semi-pro
by
heading
out
to
Vegas
to
play
poker
in
the
2006
World
Series
of
Poker.
The
actual
list
of
celebrities
entering
this
year’s
event
is a
lengthy
one,
but
McFadden
is
the
latest
well
known
celeb
to
come
on
to
the
poker
playing
scene.
We
wonder
if
he
got
so
good
by
playing
at
online
casinos.
Whatever
the
case,
one
online
casino
poker
site
is
sending
him
on
his
way
to
the
WSOP.
If
you
are
a
Hollywood
type,
this
is
the
online
casino
poker
room
to
be
involved
with.
After
all,
it’s
all
in
the
name
–
CelebPoker.
In
fact,
this
is
the
very
online
casino
poker
site
that
made
a
bigger
name
for
itself
by
generating
all
the
action
backstage
at
both
the
2005
World
Music
Awards
and
American
Music
Awards
shows
in
Las
Vegas
in
the
past.
Playing
for
the
first
time
in
the
world’s
biggest
and
best
poker
event,
McFadden
will
be
one
of
many
notable
or
recognizable
celebrity
poker
players
who
are
looking
to
get
in
on
their
share
of
poker
playing
action
at
this
year’s
record
breaking
prize
pool.
Even
though
McFadden
has
made
a
pretty
smooth
and
successful
transition
int
the
poker
world,
he
will
still
be
up
against
a
huge
amount
of
competition.
For
those
of
you
online
casinos
news
article
readers
out
there
who
have
been
under
a
rock
for
the
past
month
or
so,
the
2006
World
Series
of
Poker
is
being
hosted
at
the
Reno
Casino
in
Las
Vegas.
It
begins
next
week
and
will
run
through
August
10
after
the
final
table
has
played
its
very
last
hand
–
making
one
skilled
player
a
multi
millionaire.
Poker
players
and
casual
fans
from
all
across
the
globe
will
be
watching
their
televisions
and
checking
websites
for
news
and
results
daily;
cheering
for
their
favorite
professional
player
or
celebrity
personality.
Being
a
household
name
in
Europe
and
especially
his
native
Ireland,
Brian
will
have
the
support
and
cheers
of
many
watching
the
event.
Since
we
can’t
watch
the
event
live
on
TV,
there
is a
handful
of
online
casino
sites
that
will
be
posting
live
feeds
to
keep
us
all
posted.
This
will
be a
year
of
true
action
and
a
lot
of
drama
as
so
many
diverse
types
of
player
will

the
action.
There
will
be
more
online
casino
qualified
players
than
ever
before,
more
celebs
and
the
usual
suspects
as
well.
The
fun
part
about
this
event
is
that
anyone
can
win
it
as
we
have
witnessed
before.
A
player
may
come
out
of
nowhere
to
win
the
final
table
– or
we
may
find
an
online
gambling
fanatic
even
win
it.
Whatever
happens,
Brian
McFadden
will
prove
to
be
an
interesting
entry.
A
good
player,
he
is
capable
of
holding
his
own
under
a
lot
of
pressure.
Some
of
you
online
casino
players
out
there
may
remember
that
McFadden
was
in
the
boy
band
Westlife,
before
going
solo
as a
singer
in
his
own
right.
As
we
head
into
the
beginning
of
the
2006
WSOP,
we
are
all
getting
excited
t
see
who
does
what
and
when.
