2012 Paradise Poker Tour Champ Aleksander Abutovic Joins The Day 1b
2012 Paradise Poker Tour 2 Barcelona Main Event champion Aleksander Abutovic is amongst the players currently in the day1 b of the PokerNews Cup Main Event.
Former professional footballer, Abutovic has total live tournament winnings for nearly $150,000 according to his profile on the Hendon Mob.
With past scores that include cashes in top international live poker events like the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA), the World Poker Tour (WPT), and the European Poker Tour (EPT), Abutovic came all the way from Barcelona to play in the PokerNews with his son Joshua - who’s also in the field today.
Earlier this year, the player was also seen in several events including Barcelona's Estrellas Poker Tour (ESPT) where he finished ninth in the Main Event for $12,610.
“I used to live in Nuremberg, but now I am based in Barcelona and I love it there. However, I come back to Germany quite often and I always pay a visit to the King’s when I am around,” Abutovic told PokerNews.
Talking about the PokerNews Cup, Abutovic said he finds it “one of the best low buy-in events available in Europe right now.”
“Only a few weeks ago, I have seen another so-called ‘low buy-in event’ offering a €45,000 guaranteed prize pool for a €400 buy-in. Here, you pay €250 and you get to play for a share of €200,000 - I think the numbers speak for themselves.”
