Michael Schwaiger is just 21 years old. He lives in Austria and plays at Titan Poker. According to the online poker room, the lucky young man has only been playing at Titan for eight months. That’s not very long, but…yet he’s managed to do what so many players just dream about.
Schwaiger won his way to the Sun City Million Dollar Poker Tournament in South Africa. He received a $10,500 prize package that includes:
- $3,000 for buy-in to the Main Event, plus $1,600 for one add-on and one re-buy.
- Luxury accommodation for seven nights at the Palace of the Lost City hotel.
- Up to $2,500 for flights and spending money.
- VIP transfers from Johannesburg to the Palace hotel.
- A round of golf at one of the nearby golf courses
- Free entry into the Spa for one week
- Safari Game Drive or Hot Air Balloon Ride
- Free entry to the "Let There Be Rock" show.
As Schwaiger said, “A dream became complete with this win! To participate at the biggest poker tournament in Africa is, for me personally something very special.” Of course, Schwaiger also has something to look forward to when he returns from Africa. He qualified for the $2.5 million Guaranteed Tournament on September 7, 2008.
The young Austrian was no less thrilled about this opportunity, and we quote, “Thanks to Titan Poker for affording me entry to these events. More than this, congratulations to Titan Poker that it has such a large assortment of tournaments to offer!”
There’s still time to qualify for the $2.5 million GTD on 9.7.08, or you can buy in direct for $1,580. Visit Titan Poker.com now for all the details!
