There will be a VIP terminal service available for all event participants. A driver will wait for players near the "Arena Casino Tournament" sign at the airport.
Anonymous Winner in November
Who won last month's €10,300 PLO Grand Slam Championship? That's a good question, as the winner only went by the alias "Benjamin N" and asked to remain anonymous. The same was true for runner-up "Phil Ejri" as both players were part of a four-way chop that also included Spain's Lautaro Guerra and Greece's Nikolaos Lampropoulos.
