| The Austrian Masters 2004 is over and everybody was surprised, that the tournament was a success without the HeadsUp Championsship. Thomas Lamatsch and Thomas Kremser presented a very interesting tourney schedule, made for any player, highroll or not. The 2 mainevents, Potlimit Holdem reached a prizepool of Euro 99.920,- and the winner, TRIEGLER Karl, a local players, got the trophy and Euro 18.000,-, after the last four made a deal.
102 player registered for the intertopspoker.com Limit Holdem Event with a guaranteed prizepool of Euro. 100.000,-. Was close, but at the end Euro 102.000,- for the first 18th places. After long time up and down, another VICTORY for online players, Donald CARLTON won his seat at intertopspoker.com and won the First intertopspoker.com land based tournament at the ConcordCardCasino and Euro 24.220,- !
MACKETT Gordon, UK won the Best Allround Player and additional Euro 3.500,- and was surprised, he didnt know that the best tournament players receive prizemoney.
Thomas Lamatsch and Thomas Kremser were running the tournaments at a very high standard, with new rules, like NO CELL PHONES and the player must be at his seat, when the last card is dealt to the button. If he isn not at the table the dealers neglects to kill the hand. Also the limits were changed at the finaltable, like many player suggested and now appreciate this new rule. During the tournaments the same software was used and a big screen giving the players a good view about chips average, players remaining and actual prizemoney.
The air condition was working, free dinner and a good atmosphäre once again at the ConcordCardCasino.
Besides Jukka Juvonnen, Mike Iron and Thomas Lamatsch were playing 18 holes and Jukka was the winner, getting 30 from Thomas and 700 from Mike, are players able to play a game without betting? I dont think so.
