Poker Time Players Excel at South African Poker Open

Thursday February 28, 2008

The R7.5 million tournament was held at the architectural wonder that is the Montecasino Entertainment Complex in Johannesburg, where players enjoyed nine days of Tuscan luxury at the five star Pallazo Hotel.

All the online practice had clearly paid off as four Poker Time players excelled in the main event, with two making the final table in third and eighth place. A smart deal made by one player saw him sharing first prize in the NL Freeze out. Together with the main event and NL freeze out, an Omaha rebuy added to the variety in the tournament. Topping off the world class tournament was the excellent value players experienced at the cash tables.

Players were treated to a great tournament as well as some amazing South African leisure experiences such as horseback safaris, lion encounters and getting to grips with the real cultures and people on a tour of Soweto, one of South Africa’s most historical places.

This memorable trip is sure to hold a place in all the minds and hearts of these Poker Time players.
