Mihai Manole wins CAPT Innsbruck Tournament!


Mihai Manole is one of SunPoker.com's best poker players and last week wasn't any exception as he walked through the competition in Austria during the Casino's Austria Poker Tour in Innsbruck.

Not only did Mihai win the €300 re-buy tournament earning him €15,000 but he also won the €2,000 main event, earning him a nice pay day of €55,650.

Mihai qualified for the CAPT Innsbruck Main Event through SunPoker.com's CAPT Satellite tournament.  What cost him €100 to qualify, bought him into the €2,000 event, payed for his travel and accommodations and made him over €55,000!

This is the 2nd time a SunPoker.com Player has cashed big in the CAPT, last CAPT event Marcus List placed 2nd in the Main Event!  It is looking very good for any SunPoker Player that plays in one of these events!

Mihai is an awesome Poker player and is excited to play more of these events!  You will be able to qualify online just like Mihai did through SunPoker.com.  For more information on the Casinos Austria Poker Tour and how to qualify through SunPoker.com please visit:


Once again, a big congratulations to Mihai on winning the CAPT Innsbruck!  We look forward to seeing you all try out for the next CAPT Event!

WSOP Free Roll

This year we decided to try something different.  Instead of focusing on the WSOP Main Event like everyone else, we decided to let the players decide what events they wanted to play in this years series.

The response we got was awesome!  People love playing the smaller events, or different games other than Texas Hold'em.  

So the promotion ended on April 27th, but we thought it would be cool to add a Finale where instead of $3000 in vouchers, we would make it $5000!

So starting May 8th, you have a chance to win your $5,000 WSOP Voucher through SunPoker!
