It might mean nothing to Ultravox, but Vienna is the latest addition to the European Poker Tour.
The tour hasn’t been to Vienna since the first season, but a €5,000+300 buy in event has now been scheduled for for October 26th-31st, with PokerStars guaranteeing the first prize of €500,000 for the winner.
The event takes place at the Concord Card Casino at the Kursalon Palace in the City Park, with the field capped at 600.
Excitable Stars team pro Johannes Steindl, from Austria, said: “I am really looking forward to playing in an EPT event held in my new home town,” Steindl said. “I have been living in Vienna for three months and it is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I’ll be playing my best game to try and take home the €500,000 guaranteed first prize!”
There are now 12 stops for season 7 of the EPT – impressive in recessionary times, which includes the PCA.
