The ParadisePoker Tour Vienna made waves earlier this month, breaking multiple records en route to paying €233,100 in prize money in the Austrian capital.
The Main Event field smashed its previous best of 272 entrants in London last November by dragging in 338 players - 38 more than the cardroom capacity!
The total prize pool was €169,000 and while a deal was struck at the final table, the big cheque started out Day 3 worth another record sum - €41,640.
Sincerest thanks from the PPT blog to all the players that helped make the third leg of Season Two such a success; just make sure you're in Prague from March 2nd-6th!
