2006-09-12 17:00:00

The inaugural Everest Poker European Championship took place in Barcelona this weekend.

Over 100 players turned up to decide who are the movers and shakers on the European poker scene.

Each European country was represented and online poker competitions have been running across the continent since March to whittle down the talent.

Then 100 players at the Catalan final had been scythed down from 20,000 original entrants.

All amateur entrants received a €900 prize package for qualifying, which included travel expenses to Barcelona.

Following some intense European competition Sweden's Peter Lindstrom was crowned the poker champion of Europe.

He said: "I'm thrilled to have taken part in such an enjoyable and gripping event…It was a great experience."
