Nipping out to Europe quick, we are here to check out on Leon Tsoukernik<\/strong>, a casino owner who has a flair for poker and knows how to outlast his competitors \u2013 both on the felt and in life and business. Tsoukernik was slated to join the WSOP in Las Vegas earlier this year<\/a>, but he finally decided that Austria, Europe, has its own distinct charm, which is worth exploring in full. <\/p>\n
Tsoukernik may have lost his $50,000 deposit for the WSOP event, but he didn\u2019t flinch at the news that his money is not-refundable. Instead, he decided to drop extra $30,000 for the Super High Roller<\/strong> tournament. He was clever to do so, as the event quickly turned out to be a raging success for him and he added a bit of extra cash to his bankroll, making his losses several-fold.<\/p>\n
His strategy was quite simple in fact \u2013 swoop in, dismantle the competition and leave with the EUR1,165,000 prize pool on the spot. The event attracted 27 players, which is not much, but then again, the buy-in was significant and few players were as confident as Tsoukernik whose casino was happily chugging along at home.<\/p>\n
Adding the latest prize money, Tsoukernik has managed to bring his total winnings to $2.7 million from what he has earned during live events alone! He has long been a fan of the tournament and frequenting it has provided him a peace of mind, as well as monetary satisfaction. <\/p>\n
Tsoukernik has not always been known as a \u2018good\u2019 player in the sense of personal example. For instance, he has refused to settle a debt with fellow poker player Matt Kirk<\/a>. But that\u2019s just business if you ask him. Even then, his victories have diminished since the EPT Prague SHR nearly two years ago, which he won for $782,453. He also won a SHR Bowl, which fetched him the staggering $1.8 million.<\/p>\n
Of course, having a more mixed variety of players is also helpful, as the Triton Poker tournament has suggested on multiple occasions<\/a>. Tsoukernik may do a bit better in improving his public figure, but then again, he doesn\u2019t seem to be interested by what others think of him. And after all, his game is reason enough to like the tacit and silent pro of poker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nipping out to Europe quick, we are here to check out on Leon Tsoukernik, a casino owner who has a flair for poker and knows how to outlast his competitors \u2013 both on the felt and in life and business.
