Evening poker fans! Today the Race Trophy finalists were treated to a big day of sightseeing with a guided tour around the many historic and picturesque landmarks Vienna has to offer. It all started with the Team meeting in the hotel lobby and all the players were very much still feeling the effects of last night's Team PokerRoom.com Welcome Party. A bleary eyed Puggy82 even admitted that he woke and found himself lying in bed next to the one and only Marky_Crash! Neither player would confirm nor deny if there was spooning involved!

Despite the nursing nasty hung overs, nothing was going to stop the Team from getting out and seeing the sights of Vienna and first on the agenda was a horse and carriage ride around the center of town. It was then time for some photo's at the beautiful St. Stephen's Cathedral before another serving of fantastic Viennese cuisine at Restaurant Lusthaus.

After lunch the players were treated to a ride on Vienna's Giant Ferris Wheel in Pratar Amusement Park and got a birds eye view across the city from 200 feet up. The Team PokerRoom.com bus then headed to the famous 'Christkindlmarkt' (Christmas Market) for some shopping and traditional Austrian 'Beerenpunsch', a warm berry punch.

The day was capped off with great dinner at Griechenbeisl, a traditional Austrian restaurant set in a beautiful old building from the 1400's. Despite the fact the players were less than 24 hours away from fighting it out for $500,000, the mood was actually very relaxed and the dinner conversation was surprisingly not even that focused on poker! After being stuffed full with more tasty Austrian delights, the players decided there would be no repeat of last night's wild antics and everyone headed back to the hotel to rest up for the huge day tomorrow.

The cards will be hitting the felt around 14.00 CET so make sure you put everything on hold and reserve the comfyist chair in house to see which lucky player will write their name into PokerRoom.com folklore with a $285,000 pay day. Every big flop, fold and suck out will be reported live as it happens so make sure you keep it tuned to PokerRoom.com. See you tomorrow!
