One year
after a new record for the number of attendance in a Main Event outside of the
United States has been set, the World Poker Tour will be returning to the
Montesino Vienna in the heart of Europe in April 2012. Last year, Dmitry Gromov
outlasted a field of 555 players to collect the €447,840 first place prize.

Even though this record has been broken last December not far away from Vienna at the WPT Prague, you should keep in mind that the largest event ever with 571 players total included several re-entries on Day 1B and that has not been the case yet one year ago. Since this feature will also be available at the Montesino this year, it is a fair assumption that we may see an even bigger field and the ambitious tournament schedule confirms this:

The 200k
Guaranteed has a total of three starting days where each will play down to the
last 10% of the starting field and the moderate buy-in of 300€ + 40€ should
attract many local players. The World Poker Tour Main Event has two starting
days with a buy-in of 3200€ + 300€ and if you already bust on Day 1A, you can
buy into the event again the next day.
Besides
various Side Events, the Highroller tournament is the second highlight of the
poker festival and should attract the best of the best with a very competitive
buy-in of 9700€ + 300€ and 50,000 Chips Starting Stack. The Final Table of the
Main Event will be streamed on the internet April 15th with a delay of 30 minutes and concludes 11 days of non-stop
poker action at the tables.
The
PartyPoker Premier League Poker V will also take place at the Montesino in
April as well, featuring an exclusive tournament with a staggering buy in of
$125,000. The latest addition to the star studded line-up is Erik Seidel, who
will join the likes of Tony G, Luke Schwartz, Patrik Antonious, Vanessa Selbst
and WPT Season IX Player of the Year Andrew Frankenberger.
This should guarantee lots of action and we will most likely also see them at the tables during the WPT Vienna Main Event 2012. If you want to play against them, Qualifiers for the WPT and the Premier League are currently running on PartyPoker - best of luck!
