Poker Worthersee Trophy


As the WSOP now goes into its four month hiatus, we at Eyebrows can now place our sweaty palms on our mystic orb of poker and be guided to a different feast of flopping.


The mighty orb shudders, resenting its period of neglect, but eventually eases us in the direction of Velden, for it is there that Casinos Austria are presenting an event called the Poker Worthersee Trophy.

Its week- long series of games began on Sunday with a €500NL tournament but it is good to see that the organisers have also made an effort to offer a few more variants.

On Monday, Kurt Haindl, achieved his second first place at the series by winning the Limit 7 Card Stud rebuy, following his victory in Sunday’s NL tournament. With five days of the event left, he has already bagged an impressive €33,160.

It remains to be seen if he made it 3 out of 3 at last night’s Pot Limit Omaha, as the €300 rebuy+addon dust-up was still being contested into the early hours.

However, whatever Kurt’s fate last night, we expect to see him at today’s €1000 NL game, the half-price teaser to Saturday’s two-day event.

On almost equal billing as the climax, is tomorrow’s No Limit 7 Card Stud Worthersee Trophy as it demands a €1500 buy-in and expects contestants to last two days.
