East/West spice in new European challenge

Qualifiers for the inaugural PartyPoker.com European Challenge, to be held in Vienna next month, are already underway - with an extra twist to proceedings.

The first 50 online qualifiers from Eastern Europe are to take on the first 50 from Western Europe in what will be called the PartyPoker.com East versus West Cup - with a €100,000 freeroll on offer.

A spokesman for PartyPoker looked ahead to the event and some of the leading protagonists, saying:

"The €100,000 prize pool for the East versus West Cup is a great bonus for qualifiers for the European Challenge. The final table of ten will share €50,000 while the winning team will get €50,000 split between them so even if you go out first hand in the freeroll you stand to profit from successful team mates.

"Tony G and the Devilfish will be there to lead their teams - we'll need an iron curtain to separate the two. This event is sure to show whether it is a phoney war between them or whether this event will renew their hostilities. Tony G and the Devilfish have famously clashed many times, in particular, at last year's Intercontinental Poker Championship in Las Vegas and at the EPT in Paris a while back."

The tournament will be a feature of the Austrian Spring Poker Festival, to be held at the Concord Card Casino from March 10th to March 17th.
