The Poker Worthersee Trophy
The multi-event Poker Worthersee Trophy concluded on Sunday at the Casino Capt Velden, and there were plenty leaving the Austrian holiday resort with prizes in their pockets.
The main event, Saturday's two-day, €2,000NL tournament was won by Stefan Rapp, who is clearly having a good summer. By beating 185 other players and scooping €95,420, he adds a 1st place to the two cashes he achieved in this year's WSOP.
Although the Hold 'em event had the biggest buy-in, it was Thursdays No Limit 7 card stud tournament that boasted the Worthersee Trophy.
This coveted piece of silverware is the casino's way of trying to keep the flips flopping through their doors at a time when other parts of the town are offering a beach volleyball contest.
This year's winner was Swiss Sevrin Walser, who fought off waves of sets and had the balls to spike the hopes of 65 other players.
By being the player most likely to kick sand in the eyes of his opponents, he was rewarded with €28,220, the Worthersee trophy and a private HD screening of the beach scene from Top Gun.
(Maybe.)
Go ahead and recreate the scene for yourselves, but to get serious with playing poker online check out Bodog Poker.
