The time has come for a decision. Will you miss one of the biggest tournaments to hit Europe? Will you miss the opportunity to play with some of the most popular poker pros on the tournament circuit? Now that many of the world’s top pros have confirmed their attendance, and with so many deals available for tournament seats and hotel accommodations, it is time to decide if you will join the field at the PokerNews Cup Alpine.

Recently, several of the many poker pros confirmed their attendance at the much-anticipated PokerNews Cup Alpine main event, which will begin on March 25. Representing Team PokerStars will be Noah Boeken, and Liv Boeree will be there on behalf of Absolute Poker. The 2008 Asian Poker Tour champion David Saab will join Poker770 representative Tristan Clemenceau at the tables. And Full Tilt pros Markus Gosler, Erich Kollman and Sandra Naujoks will be among the players in the field, with Kollman looking to defend his title as the 2008 PokerNews Cup Austria champion. And the first to assure his presence at the event - Tony G - will surely be the one at the hotel surrounded by a crowd of those enjoying the festivities.

For those who simply want to participate in the prestigious PokerNews Alpine Cup, not to mention enjoy a vacation in the Austrian Alps, many hotel packages have been offered by the organizers of the event in coordination with the Alpine Palace New Balance Luxur Resort. For as little as €270, players can reserve their rooms now in the Salzburg resort so as not to miss a moment of the poker action while taking in the sites and sounds of the Alps. The contact for these spectacular deals is Ulrike Lehmann, who would like to chat with you about the various options available and can be reached at ++43-6541-63466444 or Ulrike.lehmann@wolf-hotels.at.

But there is no time to waste! As mentioned, the €1,375 No-Limit Hold’em main event begins on March 25, but the preliminary tournaments start as soon as March 21 with a €100 NLHE event. With merely days remaining before you should be on a plane, it is time to make those reservations.

For those still super confident in their poker abilities and looking for ways to win seats into the main event, there are a few opportunities left. Though most of the seats on PokerStars, Carbon Poker, UltimateBet, and Titan Poker have already been issued, with those players packing their snow gear for the trip of a lifetime, there are more opportunities only recently announced. An additional NINE seats to the main event will be up for grabs from March 15 through 17, thanks to TonyG Poker! It is an unprecedented opportunity from one of the fastest growing sites in Europe to send players to the PokerNews Cup Alpine.

And to get in on even more of the action, pay a quick visit to ChipMeUp.com, where players can offer up pieces of themselves in the tournament. Though the biggest names, like Tony G, David Saab, and Noah Boeken have already sold the maximum percentages of their action in the PokerNews Cup Alpine main event, player “georgi” still has two stakes available. And if you happen to be playing in the event, you too can register on ChipMeUp.com to allow others to purchase stakes in you!

The main action, however you look at it, will be at the Alpine Resort for the PokerNews Cup Alpine. With all of the events, including the main event, as well as skiing and other winter sporting activities, a luxurious spa and wellness center, numerous bars and restaurants, high-stakes poker action, and the Alps, where exactly can you go wrong with that trip?
