World Poker Tour Heads To Vienna March 4-17, 2015
Mark your calendars for March 4-17, 2015, and get ready for some high-quality poker action as the World Poker Tour heads to Montesino Poker Club in the fabulous city of Vienna, Austria. The spectacular poker festival will be highlighted by the €3,300 Main Event taking place March 12-17, but there will be plenty of poker options for all levels.
From March 5-9, players can kick off the festivities with the €340 Warm-Up. Boasting a €200,000 guarantee, this event will allow players one reentry per day and provide a starting stack of 20,000 in tournament chips. Find yourself at the final table, and you will be featured on the streamed webcast.
Then from March 9-12, the €1,100 8-Max will take place, and this event will also allow one reentry per day. From March 11-12, the two-day €550 Pot-Limit Omaha will play out, but these two events are only the calm before the storm.
On March 12, it will be Day 1a of the partypoker WPT €3,300 Main Event. The second starting flight will take place the following day on March 13, and players are allowed one reentry per day. The event will conclude on March 17 and will feature a streamed webcast of the action. Each participant will begin with 30,000 in tournament chips. Levels will be 60 minutes long on Day 1 and 90 minutes long on Day 2-4. On Day 5, the final day of the event, the levels will revert back to 60 minutes in length.
The last time the WPT made a trip to Vienna on the main tour was back in April 2012 during Season 10. There, it was Denmark's Morten Christensen who topped a field of 396 entries to claim the €313,390 first-place prize.
For those who may not be so fortunate to make a deep run in the Main Event, there will still be plenty of money to be won in the €6,000 High Roller that will take place March 14-15. If that's a little too pricy for your liking, a €220 Accumulator Turbo will run March 14-15 with three different starting heats.
Outside of the tournaments, players can dive into their favorite cash games throughout the festival, with Texas hold'em, Omaha, seven-card stud, and others available.
Needless to say, there's plenty of poker options for everyone.
