Germany's Thorsten Facius first live tournament cash came by win, according to The Hendon Mob, as he outlasted a field of 113 players to win the 888 Poker on Ice Live Austria Main Event for �13,000 ($15,014) at the Casino Austria Seefeld, located in the Austrian ski resort town of Seefeld.

The unique event featured a �440 buy-in and generated a �45,540 ($52,595) prize pool, eclipsing the �40,000 ($50,000) that was advertised to be guaranteed by online poker operator 888poker.

The 888 Poker on Ice Live Austria took place from Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 and was more about just poker. Players who won a package via a satellite on the online poker site were treated to high-adrenalin ski and snowboard activities, luxury spa treatments, access to its VIP launch party, and a free entry into the Main Event.

Several 888poker Ambassadors, including 2014 World Series of Poker (WSOP) November Niner, Bruno Politano, were on hand to enjoy the many activities over the long weekend and to meet and greet the poker players in attendance.
