Online player triumphs at European Poker Tour event
2007-01-24 15:59:23
The continued influx of successful online players into offline gambling events was given another boost this week when web player Magnus Petersson won the Copenhagen European Poker Tour event.
Petersson, who learnt his trade online, had previously shown the ability to transfer skills to live tournaments when he took home $30,000 after coming 438th at last year's World Series of Poker (WSOP).
But such winners would not have prepared the player for the $500,000 he secured for winning the Copenhagen event.
And the event itself featured a remarkable story of rags to riches, with Petersson trailing two other players before somehow managing to collect a large number of chips armed only with the infamous Seven-Two off-suit.
The key confrontation in the heads-up game came when Petersson made a bold call holding a pair of threes and was rewarded when the river provided him with three of a kind, enabling him to beat renowned professional Elky and walk away with the lucrative prize.
