The results of the PokerStars.net sponsored Australia New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT) Adelaide are in. Congratulations go out to Karl Krautshneder for the 1st place victory, awarding AUD-$170,215.
Krautshneder of Melbourne, Australia routed a field of 215 participants to take the crown as the first PokerStars.net Australia New Zealand Poker Tour Adelaide Champion. Karl is an avid poker player, both at local casinos and at the online poker room, PokerStars.
In fact, it was his online poker ventures at PokerStars that brought Krautshneder to the ANZPT to begin with. For an investment of only $31, he won himself a seat in the PokerStars ANZPT Adelaide through satellite competitions.
It took only four hours of vigorous poker play to reach the final table and dwindle down the last competitors to heads-up action. It came down to Karl Krautshneder battling it out one-on-one against Tony Dunst. In the final hand, Dunst held the advantage with Two Pair, but a 7c on the river completed Karl's Flush Draw to bring the evening to an end.
Karl Krautshneder, a drug and alcohol clinician who councils addicts, is now the leader in the PokerStars ANZPT point race.
"I feel fantastic after winning my way here on PokerStars.com for only $ 31," relayed an energized Karl after taking down the championship. “The whole tournament has been so exciting for me. I am definitely going to playing in more of these, especially as I am now the point’s leader. I really want to play in some of the APPTs in Asia and this gives me a great chance to get there.”
Krautshneder was asked what plans he has for the winnings. “I want to take my daughter on a holiday, after the credit card has been taken care of.”
