All good things must come to an end…

15:51 UTC March 31, 2009 by Liam Clark

Yes, as the saying goes ‘all good things must come to an end’, and unfortunately this is true of the bwin team’s trip to the PokerNews Cup Alpine.

After a glorious week of non-stop poker and partying in the Austrian Alps, the time has come for the 24 bwin team members to make their way back home, but before we sign off let’s take a look back at some of the many highlights of the week. Snowmobiling, partying, loads of skiing and snowboarding, exciting action at the poker tables, great food, and then when it all got too much there was the fabulous Alpine Palace Spa for relaxation. What a week!
