Extreme Poker Tournament To Be Held In in a snow castle in Finland

As if poker in a normal card room is not tough enough, online poker players will now compete for a spot in the InterPoker Extreme Poker event, which will be held in sub-zero temperature in a snow castle in Finland...
Finnish poker pro Juha Helppi was given the option to choose the venue for the next Extreme Poker Event, after he had won the first one 30-feet underwater, in the waters off of St. Kitts in the Caribbean.
Juha obviously went for home advantage, and will feel confident competing in his own back yard - the arctic fields of Finland. The event is to take place on March 29. March 29.
An InterPoker spokesperson said: "Juha has obvious home advantage, but our Internet qualifiers will all be in with a shot to take his title away."
The Snow Castle was built using 60,000 cubic feet of snow and ice, and the temperature consistently remains below freezing point. "The castle is a beautiful venue and the conditions are similar to where I grew up. Hopefully I can take advantage of the conditions".
