Eastern Europeans Dominate PartyPoker.net European Challenge

32-year-old Branimir Brunovic, a trainee lawyer from Zagreb in Croatia, won the 2007 PartyPoker.net European Challenge, the climax of the Spring Poker Festival at the Concord Card Casino in Vienna.

Brunovic, an online qualifier, took the title winning �190,160 after a heads-up battle with Andreas Krause, a respected professional player from Stuttgart, Germany. After a marathon final table, Brunovic's Ace-Eight off suit held-up against Krause's King-Jack off suit to give him first prize and the trophy.

Brunovic is not a professional on the circuit but is part of a small group of players who are making a name for themselves in Croatia.

'I play in as many tournaments as I can but this was the greatest experience and by far the biggest win I have had,� Brunovic said.

'Poker has a big future in Croatia and is growing bigger everyday. We have a good set of players who are playing regularly,� he added.

'Western Europe may have won the skirmishes earlier in the week but it was the Eastern European players who set the standard to follow,� a PartyPoker.net spokesman said.

Big name casualties from the first few days of play included Tony G, Roland De Wolfe and Michael Keiner, who all busted out before the action got hot.
