[TightEnd]

The European Poker Tour will visit Campione for the first time ever in Season 8, where the Casino di Campione will host the event. Campione, or Campione d'Italia as it is more widely known, is a small Italian municipality located within Switzerland, 1km from the Italian border. It sits on the edge of Lake Lugano, and has spectacular scenery as well as modern amenities.

It’s also a poker hotspot. Campione has hosted many big tournaments previously, including the stops on the hugely successful Italian Poker Tour, which is now in its third season. The first visit of European Poker Tour takes place March 26-31, 2012

The €5,000 + €300 main event begins on Monday

Good luck to the 3 boys left but it ain't the same without Alex being involved.

[tikay]

In Alex's absence, I transfer my run-good vibes to young David Vamplew, who I think is potentially an immense talent, & a very likeable & personable lad, too. Hugely intelligent & sharp, as well.

Errr yeah coz Rupert is the totally opposite of that

Ahh, I missed Rupert's name.

He is officially added to my Good-Vibe Group, for much the same reasons as Mr Vamplew, but more so. Both on the same road, Rupert is further along it.

[Rupert]

Either way hopefully one of us will finally get that big break through we have both been looking so hard for
