On Monday or Tuesday, a common question is ‘How was your weekend?’ One man that won’t have to try to make a trip to an out of town furniture centre sound interesting is German Markus Lehmann, as he scooped €95,930 by winning the main event of the CAPT Bregenz Open on Saturday.
187 players had resisted the call of the couch and headed to Casinos Austria to spoon over the €2000 buy in for the NL tournament but only 20 were paid for their buttock shifting efforts. Things were tight as the final table’s action began but, by the end, Lehmann had taken his career earnings a step closer to $1m. In 2nd place was rookie Carsten Joh, who had to be content with €67,510 as the winner took the new boy’s game, grilled it, sliced it and served it to him in a toast rack.
The week-long series of games was a huge success and is highly likely to return next year. Other notable winners include ex-footballer Wilhelm Brueer, (a man who has his marital status listed as ‘yes’) who netted a 1st prize of €22,000 for leap-day’s PL Omaha tournament and managed 4th place in the main event; and Swiss Sam Morda el Sayed who can bank €36,480 after accounting for 174 rivals in the €1,000 NL buy in on Thursday. Clearly playing poker is a better form of DIY.
