Extreme Poker Tournament via Online Casino |
| Inter Poker, a poker online casino, hosted an extreme poker tournament. The online casino encouraged poker play at extremely cold temperatures on an Arctic mountain. The Arctic mountains were the location of this year’s Extreme Poker Challenge, sponsored by Inter Poker online casino. The online casino made participants play in the freezing cold and brave the natural elements while still trying to keep their concentration levels up and focus on winning the game of poker. Despite the irregular conditions, Robert Varkonyi, 2002 World Series of Poker Champion managed to win the online casino-sponsored tournament in amazing style. The players had to battle temperatures that reached well below – 10 degrees and were given an opportunity by the online casino organizers of purchasing new chips in exchange for their coats. At one stage the players were only sitting with T-shirts on their backs. Daniel Stein, who qualified through the online casino site, was forced to remove his protective gear to stay in the tournament. Varkonyi decided to run laps around the poker table between hands in order to keep up circulation. A spokesperson for the online casino organizers of the tournament said that the setting of the competition was stunning and breathtaking. The online casino said that the players all showed amazing strength of character and good sportsmanship, especially those players that qualified through the online casino site. Many new promising players were discovered, he claimed. The spokesperson also encouraged players who did not think they were up to the extreme conditions, to practice on the online casino site. |
