Before the bwin team pulls up stumps here at the PokerNews Cup Alpine, I think it is important to emphasis just how incredible the stay has been here at the Alpine Palace Hotel. bwin team members are always used to VIP treatment, but I think what the team has experienced this week would have to be at the very top of the list as far as luxury goes. With access to the Alpine Palace Health Spa, exquisite buffets for breakfast and dinner, and a 6 day ski lift past with some of Austria's best slopes right outside the front door, I am not sure there has ever been a trip where players have ever been treated better.

To show everyone out the terrible conditions the players have had to endure, we used the late to the day Day 3 of the Main Event to follow around team veterans samsampson (billybillard), Sirin-22 and -NUTS6020- and capture their experience here at the PokerNews Cup Alpine. Here is the video and photos we got from following these guys around for the morning;
