Online poker players taking part in the tournament should look out for usernames such as PowerTaylor and Hawaii501, as the darts legends each carry a $100 bounty for the player that knocks them out.
Three top prizes will see the lucky winners handed VIP packages to the opening event on the Professional Darts Corporation calendar, as well as $500.
"Not since the day that curry met chips, has there been a tastier combination than poker and darts!" exclaimed Boylepoker.com chief Paul Spollane.
"Not only do our players have the chance to put themselves in the poker history books knocking out one of our celebrity players, they can pick up a tidy $100 in the process and have a great story to tell their mates."
