Online Poker is already pretty alternative as it is but the popular online
poker site, InterPoker.com, has made it a specialty of theirs to make poker an
even more adventurous experience. First they took the top poker stars and had
them play poker under water in the warms seas of the Caribbean. then they took
top player and had them play in the Arctic on top of a table made of ice. Next
they are going back into the deep off the shore of the island of St. Kitts in a
sunken ship.
they arctic game seemed to be the most dangerous and extreme as the players
were given the option to lose articles of clothing in exchange for lost chips.
the winner of the game gave viewers from the online poker site a nail biting
turn around, as he exchanged his protective layer of clothing for some of his
lost chips in order to stay in the game early on, and needed to jog laps in
order to maintain his circulation between hands.
the final hand was a thrilling turn of events as the winner was clearly the
underdog in the beginning in only a T-shirt but coming though at the very last
minute, “Winning this title makes my suffering through the most excruciating
cold I’ve ever experienced worth it, and I know this tournament will prepare me
well for the 2006 World Series of Poker, Juha really gave me a run for the
title, and my hat... and my coat... are off to him!” But after the pain of
potential frostbite, the players all seem pretty excited about the tropical
location for the next extreme online poker sponsored event.
