Two Intertops Poker players that won their way to CAPT
Velden last month did well for awhile but didn’t make it to the final day of their €500 event. While it didn’t end as they’d hoped, Christoph and Michael – who won their trips to Velden in online qualifiers at Intertops — enjoyed the company at the beautiful Austrian casino resort and plan to return next year to try again.
A player known only as “Joe” beat 214 other players to win the NLH Main Event at CAPT Velden, taking €105,400 of the €395,000 prize pool.
“Velden is one of the biggest tournaments in the CAPT season in terms of participants and it takes place in a great setting!” Christoph said. “It’s kind of the kick-off tournament. For
me it’s also fun to meet a lot of players that I know but don’t see very often.”
“I played OK but I was very unhappy with one hand where all signs were telling me that my opponent was bluffing but I didn’t have the guts to call with my weak hand. After I folded, my analysis was proven to be right when my opponent showed his cards.”
“Competition was good this year, many players of different skills. Fun to play them and I learned a few things from observing some fun hands that went down on my table.”
