The Ladbrokes Irish Poker Festival has extended an invitation to pop sensation Lady Gaga to compete in their main event. The singer of PokerFace, which reached the top of 18 singles charts worldwide, is expected to be in attendance with several other famous faces.

“It would be great if she could come and we’ll even make room for Kanye,” Kate McLennan, Ladbrokes’ head of poker, stated.

“The question everyone wants to know is if Lady Gaga can make sweet music on the green baize.”

Both Lady Gaga and Kanye West, who are currently touring together, have a break in their schedule that will allow them to compete in the Ladbroke Festival’s 550Euro Main Event that begins on October 2.

While Lady Gaga has yet to confirm her appearance at the tournament, several other famous personalities from past and present have acknowledged that they will take part in the Main Event, one of whom is Shane Lynch from Irish boy-band Boyzone.

Last year’s event was a sellout that saw 832 competitors setting a European record, with Irishman Jimmy McSweeney taking home the first place prize of 100,000Euro.

This year will see that prize money skyrocket to a 250,000Euro guaranteed Main Event. The festival also includes a two-day 270Euro+30 tournament on October 3, and a one-day 150Euro+20 event on October 4.

Despite the title of her number one hit, I’m not entirely positive Lady Gaga can clean up at this event, but who’s to say her poker face won’t pull her through?

Have your say about what you think will happen if Miss Gaga does attend the event, and don’t forget to post a comment below about any other celebrities you’ve seen or heard of at poker events, past or upcoming.
