Swedish Online Poker Player Wins Copenhagen EPT

Magnus Petersson, a 29-year-old financial advisor from Stockholm, beat off stiff competition from some of the world�s finest poker players to win more than four million Danish Kroner (approximately �537,000) at this years European Poker Tour tournament in Copenhagen.

Petersson won his seat for the competition in a $475 PokerStars online satellite tournament giving him a chance to step up from his most significant win to date, $30,000 as 438th position in last year�s World Series of Poker.

With just three players left, Petersson was the small stack. However, he made an amazing turnaround by winning a huge pot with a 7-2 off-suit, statistically the worst hand in poker. �That really turned things around for me. It completely changed my table image. It�s been an incredibly tough tournament, with no weak players,� reflected Petersson.

Petersson was one of 400 players who entered the high profile, four-day event, creating a total prize fund of over 13 million Danish Kroner (approximately �1,744,000).
