PokerNews CUP Austria 2008

Full time poker player, Luke Abolins first started playing poker because he “always enjoyed playing cards and was attracted by the idea of making money in the process.” That was two and a half years ago. Since then, Luke has enjoyed considerable success including recently being crowned PokerProForAYear which awarded him sponsorship to some of the biggest poker tournaments in 2008. His major poker tournament experience include playing in the first ever PokerNews Cup in Melbourne, Australia and the 2008 Aussie Millions. In between travelling to poker tournaments, Luke mostly plays poker online and enjoys No Limit Texas Holdem and home games. When he won this €1,500 PokerNews Cup Austria Package, Luke felt “fantastic… I’m really looking forward to it.” In his free time, he also enjoys “listening to music, going to gigs, going to pubs/clubs and watching football.” This will be Luke’s first visit to Austria.
