Allan Bække Wins EPT Snowfest in Austrian Alps


We imagine every Austrian girl looks, dresses and drinks like this.

Danish poker pro Allan Bække has won the EPT Snowfest, held in the Austrian Alps ski village of Saalbach-Hinterglemm, about 120km south of Fucking (look it up).

The 27-year-old who plays online as “Sifosis” started the final table with the chip lead and was able to hold off Canadian Russell Carson for the win after a two-hour heads up battle.

Bække pockets 445,000 euros that he’ll bring back to the land of hot girls on bikes. Carson takes home 296,000 euros to spend on beaver pelts and flannel shirts.

Watch below the irrepressibly cute Gloria Balding dressed in a dirndl (<- we looked that up) giving a recap of the final table.

EPT Prague Is Going On Over There


As we noted last year, the Czech Republic is loaded with fantastically hot girls who like to give it up, and we're not just talking about the ones who are drugged.

We don't cover the European Poker Tour as much as we used to but with photos like the one above of Czech model Kamila Obluska we could really get behind the EPT Prague.

A record-number 584 players turned out for Days 1a and 1b of the € 5,000 buy-in EPT Prague, bringing the total prize purse to € 2,842,000 or about $4.3 mil US. Going into Day 2 tomorrow as the chip leader will be Germany’s Marc Gork with 169,200 in chips followed closely by Rui Cao of fuck you France with 169,100.

Among the big name big stacked players heading into Day 2 include Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, also from fuck you France (159,800), and well, that’s about it. Ensuring we’ll at least pay attention one more day are The Last Woman StandingTM Leo Margets, a woman, and Alexia Portal, a woman. They have 72,300 and 83,500, respectively.

For current chip counts go here, BUT before you do, try and guess which one of the below names we made up. All others are actual people playing the EPT Prague. Seriously, these are real names of real people.

A) Juha Lauttamus
B) Hakon Helivarsen
C) Yngve Hella Steen
D) Oldrich Travnicek
E) Apo Arslan

US American Carter Phillips Wins EPT Barcelona


Estefania Luyk

Spanish model Estefania Luyk did not win the EPT Barcelona but she did win our penises' vote for the hottest Spanish chick we've seen on the Internet the past cinco minutos.

Not much of a surprise here.

US American Carter Phillips went into the final table of the EPT Barcelona with a commanding chip lead and walked away with the title and its €850,000 prize. Phillips, who hails from Charlotte, NC so he probably is big into NASCAR and worked at a bank sometime in his life, is just 20-years-old.

Before it seems like we actually care anymore than what we’ve written so far here’s how the final table ended:

1 – Carter Phillips, USA €850,000
2 – Marc Goodwin, UK €530,000
3 – Santiago Terrazas, Spain €300,000
4 – Mihai Manole, Romania €250,000
5 – Asa Smith, UK €200,000
6 – Toni Ojala, Finland €160,000
7 – Matt Lapossie, Canada €120,000
8 – Georgios Kapalas, Greece €80,000

Next up on the European Poker Tour is the EPT London, Oct. 2-7.

Scarf-Wearing Italian Not Named Dario Minieri Wins EPT Prague Title


Headsup-27404
We generally like Italians. They cook up some of the best food on the planet and Italian girls are pants down among the sexiest in the world and thanks to chauvinism and sexism still being very much celebrated in their culture
rather than frowned upon like in the rest of the so-called civilized
world, they have endless TV shows that objectify these girls by putting them on display in their next-to-nothings like they were cattle at an auction. Hot, long-legged, perfect asses cattle.

But for some reason, by looks alone, we want to punch Salvatore Bonavena, the Italian who won the European Poker Tour Prague title this past Saturday, in the face. Maybe it's the scarf he was wearing but then again maybe not. We don't want to punch Dario Minieri when we see him in a scarf. We want to hand him a lollipop, pat him on the head and say "Go run along little boy." Oh, and for good measure, sames goes with Massimo Di Cicco (foreground in pic), the runner-up and also an Italian. We want to punch him too. Again, for no real reason. We're just angry like that.

And apparently we aren't the only ones who have a negative opinion of these two Italians. Here's what a source on the ground emailed us about Sal and Massimo when they were heads up:

"The two Italians who are HU (right now) for the Prague Title are both utterly terrible players, I mean totally useless. It doesn't actually matter who wins, both are as bad. With apologies to the couple of good Italian players there are out there (the obvious ones). This event can be summed up as, 'Throw enough shit Italian players at a poker wall and one of them will stick.' Andrew Chen who finished 3rd was basically robbed by some true performances of Eurodonkery at it's finest."

Actually, we always thought if you threw enough shit Italian players at a poker wall, DEGO WOP!! Get it? See what we did there? We used derogatory terms for Italians and made it sound like "They go whop!" All righty, check out Owen Laukkanen's recap of the EPT Prague final table at PokerListings here then click away below at photos of Eleonara Pedron, the hottest Italian girl we've seen in the past cinque minuti.

EPT Prague Draws 570 Runners To The Land Of The Hot Ovas


Karolina_kurkova

Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova is one of the hot "ovas" from the Czech Republic and is one of the many reasons, and by reasons we mean hot chicks, why Prague tops our list of places to take your penis on holiday.

The final European Poker Tour event of 2008 is underway at the Hilton Hotel Casino in Prague, Czech Republic, one of our penises' favorite countries to visit back in the day because of the endless number of ridiculously hot girls who give it up quicker than David Benyamine filling up his plate at a buffet as well as the super hot "ova" girls Petra Nemcova, Karolina Kurkova, Vernonica Varekova and Tereza Kerndlova.
An impressive total of 570 runners, many whose names give the alphabet a run for its money in the letter count department, entered the €5,000 buy-in event, boosting the total purse to €2,764,500. 

After Day 1a yesterday, Frenchman Ludovic Lacay leads with 94,200 in chips, Dane Dan Pedersen in second with 71,200 and Constantin Cirstea of Romania stacked third with 69,500. Rounding out the top five is the obnoxiously named, even by obnoxiously named European standards, Luka Gideon Schwartz Orbach (69,200) and a man who's first name sounds like some prescription drug chicks would use on their fun-gina Vasilis Chantzaras of Greece (67,700).

Of note, Harrahs, please fly Kate the hot EPT dealer in for the WSOP to handle our decks. 

As usual, Pokerlistings is all over the action like hot Hollywood actresses on stripper roles these days (here and here – NSFW). Check out their live updates here. Owen Laukkanen's Day 1b wrap up here.
