Main Event Begins

Not only snow, but fun as well
Not only snow, but fun as well
Guten Tag and welcome back to the Alpine Palace Hotel and Card Casino in sunny, snowy Saalbach-Hinterglemm, where the €1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event is about to kick off.

There is as yet no sign of the players -- presumably they are sleeping, skiing or indulging in one of the many other pastimes available to the casual winter punter in this part of the world. However, come 2pm local time (around an hour from now) there will be somewhere in the region of 180 runners gathered in the cardroom to battle it out at the felt for a shot at the prestigious Pokernews Cup title. Please stand by...
