Everest Poker at Volvo ICE CAMP on top of the Austrian Kitzsteinhorn

For the second time Everest Poker hosts the world's highest final table

This weekend a great Poker spectacle took place in the Austrian Alps - more precisely in the Volvo ICE CAMP on top of the Kitzsteinhorn. After last year's awesome success Everest Poker again invited players to a tournament up high. At over 8200 feet above sea level a giant igloo became a stunning poker floor.

The beautiful weather in mountains invited the players to either run downhill the slopes or relax on the snowy sundeck of the camp. Afterwards, it was time to get focused - qualifiers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland took their seats. Amongst the players, former Miss Austria Tanja Duhovich who has tasted blood last year and did not want to miss this year's challenge.

The highest final table on earth

Only three players left: Big showdown!
All three of them push all-in at preflop. Thomas holds a pocket pair (6 6), the others J 10 and A K. With Q 9 on the board Tibo is very close to straight - but not close enough. Thomas wins with his pair kicking both opponents out of the game in one hand.

The winners and the final table:
1) Thomas Schmid (DE):
gains a wellness weekend in the luxurious Alpine Palace in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, known as the venue of the EPT Snowfest

2) Marcus Wohlgemuth (AT):
gets a dashing Everest Poker Snowboard

3) Tibo Petrasch (AT):
is as well awarded with a snowboard

4) Matthias Staudigl (AT):
hats off for our bubble boy

5) Maximillian Harin (DE)
6) Tanja Duhovich (AT)
7) Martin Brinkmann (DE)
8) Fabian Ott (AT)
9) Pascal Faerber (CH)

The lucky winners! Congrats!
