SWEDISH PLAYER WINS COPENHAGEN EPT

Magnus Petersson, a 29-year-old financial advisor from Stockholm, beat off competition from some of the best poker players in the world to win more than four million Danish Kroner (approximately €`550,000) at this year's European Poker Tour tournament in Copenhagen.
In a tense heads-up battle against Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Petersson showed phenomenal daring against the French player before finally triumphing with two pairs.

Petersson went on to outlast world-class players such as TJ Cloutier, Dutch stars Noah Boeken and Marcel Luske, Luca Pagano, Katja Thater, Tom McEvoy and Isabelle "No Mercy" Mercier, as well as actor Mads Mikkelsen, who played Le Chiffre in the latest James Bond film.
