Final of Winter Fun


There were clear indications of a cross-boarder raiding party as Italians dominated the €550 NL Hold ‘em Freezout ‘Winter Fun’ tournament at the Hotel Casino Perla, Nova Gorica, Slovenia.

Whether they were attracted to the establishment’s Dolce Vita cafe, the country’s beautiful deciduous forests, or the €46,750 kitty, the Italians ambled to the casino and occupied 7 of the 9 seats at the final table this weekend.

84 competitors had had the ground removed from their feet (this is poker’s version of falling into the poverty trap – similar, but with better sunglasses and iPod Nanos) by the time pro Roberto Binelli emerged enriched by €16,363 and the cries of ‘ben fatto!’
