Chilipoker's DeepStack Open Vienna Starts Today

Vienna is famous for its music, architecture, the atmosphere of the city and the beer of course. Chilipoker now wants poker to occupy just as an important role in the Austrian capital city's life, as they are hosting the next DeepStack Open, starting today.

The DeepStack Tour is very popular amongst players, after a very successful Ireland, France, Belgium, and Portugal stop, the tour takes place in Austria from 14 to 17 October at the famous Montesino Card Casino in Vienna.

The buy-in is low compared to other European tours such as the EPT and Unibet Open, only $550. But don't let the buy-in fool you, this is not a poorly organized tournament, the structure of the game is outstanding, players get 50,000 chips and the blinds, hence the DeepStack name. If you are curious why did Chilipoker start such a tour, here's the statement of Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chilipoker:

"Currently the structure of most tournaments fails to give players the ability to develop a real game strategy. Many players are quickly eliminated out of a tournament, normally due to bad luck but also often as a result of bad setups. Thanks to deepstack tournaments, we give the best poker players the chance to play their A-game with the time to develop a good strategy."

The hosts expect about 600 players to participate in the tournament, it might be a very good reason for you to travel to Europe and participate in this great tour, or just go and watch some live poker.
