According to cardplayer, Juha Helppi will defend his extreme poker title in an ice castle vs. Robert Varkonyi and Pete Giordano.
All you need to know about the quality of the event is summed up here: "In addition to battling the frigid temperatures, players will find new rules speially created for this tourney. For example, when a player takes a major hit in his or her chip stack, the player will have the option of buying back the chips in exchange for an article of clothing. Players leave the competition when they run out of chips or nonessential clothing or are forced to leave after succumbing to the cold. Medical personnel will be present at all times to monitor the health of all participants." |

this sounds truly stupid.
However, I believe I can withstand the cold pretty well and it might actually +EV for me. Can I just wrap 9,000 scarfs around my neck and remove one for each re-buy? |

One of the players should be a woman with an extremely skimpy t-shirt.

I did actually.
I even saw the e-mail for this ice-castle poker promo before somebody posted about it. But the fact that I thought underwater poker was ALSO stupid doesn't mean I'm not going to think the same thing about poker in an igloo. |
