After successful events on the ocean floor, an Arctic chill in Finland and at 15,000 feet in the air above Vegas, the latest in “Extreme Poker” was played on a metal frame that was 90 metres in the air. Six players played a game above the Pacific Ocean with the winner getting into the Extreme Poker Final at St. Kitts in the Caribbean.

The fourth edition of the annual event was played in blustery conditions extended over the cliffs of Manly’s North Head, Australia, which is situated opposite Sydney’s Harbour Bridge. The eventual winner was Hugo Asenjo and he was the only player permitted to walk off of the platform.

Celebrity players like Phil Laak played in previous events but Extreme Poker got its participants from online qualifiers this time. The creator of Extreme Poker, Peter Marcus said, “Sydney will prove the most challenging poker game ever with endurance, ability and nerves all being put to the test.”
