the CAPT will be no exception. In fact the fi elds may well be increased by an infl ux of Swiss players, starved of action in their own country by the government’s closure of all the private clubs last year. Twelve months ago the

Last year the Austrians kept the main event prize on home soil with a 87,000 win for Daniel Lackner with Switzerland’s Besim Hot in runner up spot for 62,000. For those seeking a cheap way into the main


event a 200 super satellite will be staged on the Wednesday of the tournament week. The 2,000 NLH will be held over the Saturday and Sunday with a 200 rebuy pot limit Omaha competition on the Friday. In total there will be six competitions, one more than last year.

occupy visitors in the resort which is on the shores of Bodensee, also known as Lake Constance. The town has many bars and restaurants and there are several nightspots in the area. There are good skiing areas about 45 minutes away which can be reached by train. Players can tie up seats for a 10 per cent deposit and also book hotel accommodation through the CAPT offi cial web site at www.poker.casinos.at

ZWEITER STOPP – CASINO BREGENZ, 20. BIS 27. FEBRUAR


Das im Westen Österreichs gelegene Casino Bregenz kann aufgrund seiner grenznahen Lage zu Deutschland, Italien und der Schweiz für seine regelmäßigen Events stets ein internationales Teilnehmerfeld begeistern.


Der diesjährige zweite Stopp der CAPT


dürfte dabei keine Ausnahme bilden. Und eventuell werden die Teilnehmerfelder in diesem Jahr sogar noch größer sein: Da in der Schweiz im letzten Jahr sämtliche privaten Clubs geschlossen wurden, ist mit einer großen Welle pokerhungriger schweizerischer Spieler zu rechnen. Vor zwölf Monaten gingen beim 2.000


Poker Europa | JANUARY 2011 | www.PokerEuropaOnline.com No Limit Hold’em Main Event 169 Spieler


ins Rennen. Der Preispool belief sich auf 320.000. In diesem Jahr dürfte sich das Feld noch näher an die Obergrenze von 200 Spielern


herantasten, und der Preispool könnte sich um 400.000 bewegen.


Im letzten Jahr blieb die Siegprämie des Main Events in Österreich: Mit Daniel Lackner sicherte sich die 87.000 ein „Heimspieler“. Zweiter wurde der Schweizer Besim Hot, der mit 62.000 nach Hause fuhr. Wer den preisgünstigen Weg ins Main Event sucht, kann am Mittwoch in der Turnierwoche sein Glück im 200 Supersatellite versuchen.
