It’s only the second day of play, but it’s already clear that the debut of the Mixed Games at the CAPT Innsbruck has been a resounding success. Yesterday, November 3, there were three tournaments: John Kaabaj won the OFC, Martin Hörtnagel won the NLH PKO, and Kake won the PLO Hi/Lo.
Play got underway early in the €400 + 40 OFC. Each player started with 40,000 chips, and the blinds were raised every 25 minutes. There were 29 entries, including “Mr. Festival” Martin Franke from Zweigberk and, of course, Fabian Bartuschk. While a heads-up match between the two might have been expected, they didn’t make it into the money. The €11,600 prize pool was distributed among the top five finishers; the winner would have received €4,300. John Kabbaj, who was also competing in the Mixed Games in Tallinn just last week, tied with Pille, and both were delighted to take home €3,655

NLH players had the €200 + 100 + 30 PKO tournament to choose from yesterday. Players took their seats at the tables with 30,000 chips and 25-minute levels. There were 75 entries, resulting in a total prize pool of €22,500, of which €7,500 was paid out as progressive bounties. €15,000 was distributed among the top eleven finishers, with the winner taking home €3,430.
There were many familiar faces at the tables, and the atmosphere was correspondingly lively. In the end, it was a home victory for a Tyrolean: Martin Hörtnagl prevailed over Adem Marjanovic and secured the win for €3,430 + bounties; Adem also took home €3,430 but fewer bounties.
