Olympic Open Championship - Poland


OK folks, the wait is over.

After a whole month of tournaments across four countries in Eastern Europe, the Olympic Open Championship reached its dramatic climax at the Casino Sunrise, Warsaw Poland last night.

In the gaming establishment’s tropical setting, Danish pro Soren Kongsgaard gave the other 60 players a torrid time and was eventually crowned king of the jungle. However, unlike the king of the swingers, what this jungle VIP desired was not man’s red fire, but the first prize of €18,240 and its potential to burn a hole in his pocket.

After a highly successful series of tournaments, one could assume that the Olympic Poker Club would be tired of monkeyin’ around but they have no plans to leave a gap in their schedule. Throughout June they are hosting the Triobet Live Series and August sees the juicy Olympic Summer Festival, so there are plenty of opportunities for creatures with opposable thumbs to stroll right into town.
