Karl Krautschneider has taken the inaugural PokerStars.net ANZPT title at the SKYCITY Casino in Adelaide. Krautschnieder, from Melbourne, rarely let the lead slip during the final table, eliminating most of the other finalists himself. His reward for outlasting them and the 214 others overall, is $170,215.

The heads up challenge was decided when Karl Krautschneider rivered a club flush holding 8c-9c against Dunst’s Kd-2d. A flop of Kc-2s-4c gave Dunst two pair and Krautschneider moved all in for Dunst to call. Dunst saw a brick hurled at Krautschneider on the turn with a 3d before the 7c appeared on the river.

ANZPT Adelaide has been a spectacular success by recording one of the highest opening fields for a first stop on a Season 1 PokerStars.net tour. A total of 215 players attended generating a prize pool of $586,950.

The next stop on the tour is ANZPT Sydney which starts on April 30.
