CAPT Salzburg Open Final
If he has a significant other, Gerhard Schiesser, winner of the Salzburg Open, may be tempted to return to his place of triumph tonight as the Salzburg Casino is hosting Ladies' Day every Wednesday in April. He had a fairy-tale weekend after opening a poker treasure-chest and discovering €47,880, so he can more than afford the €25 entrance fee.
Not only does his lucky lady receive the amount in chips, she is automatically entered into a 'shooting star' competition, in which a lucky winner is awarded a professional photo-shoot. There will be a grand finale in December and a jury will announce the Casino's 'Palace Queen' 2008. Maybe the enchanted Gerhard and his princess could be blessed with further happiness.
Schiesser is German and although the poker pro is still gaining experience, he proved his game is more than a case of The Emperor's New Clothes, by staving off the challenges of 83 players.
There were plenty of other compelling narratives during the eight days of poker action, including the triumph of Ludger Bauer, who proved as his multi-tasking skills over 24 hours by placing in two successive tournaments – 1st in the €1000 NL and 4th in PL Omaha. He has a good chance of living happily ever after.
