Surprising Late Night Winner

The results are in for the latest of the big televised poker competitions and in a surprising outcome, the winner turned out to be an online casinos poker qualifier rather than one of the site’ many poker professionals. The final table of the event was a roundup of the top poker gambling professionals in the industry, but it turns out that Andreas Jörbeck took home the top prize after facing off head-to-head with Roland de Wolfe – and WPT and EPT champion. There is no doubting that the land and online casinos gambling industries were surprised by Andreas’ win – he is a relatively unknown Swedish player who really spends his time on the moderately priced poker tables.

PartyPoker’s Late Night Poker 2008 was televised by Presentable, a company based out of Cardiff and the televised event featured the entirety of the competition, right down to the heated last moments of the online casinos poker tournament competition. As for the outcome of the tournament, even while most of the competitors were surprised by the win, final competitor de Wolfe was gracious in his losing – after all there are more land and online casinos tournaments in the coming months.

Perhaps no one though in the online casinos gambling tournament was as surprised as Andreas – but he’s not letting it go to his head, instead he plans to take a reasonable approach toward his portion of the $335,000 prize pool. He remarks, "I am not a big player so have no huge plans on the horizon, poker is just a hobby. I will use some of my prize money on a bankroll but will invest the majority in stocks and shares. My strategy throughout the tournament was to sit back, keep out of trouble and loosen up and try and relax when we were shorthanded. If possible, I would get others to do the dirty work for me and get involved in lots of hands. I was so surprised to even get through my heat considering I was up against the likes of the Devilfish and Joe Beevers."

Interestingly, Andreas was the only non-professional poker player at the final table, and the only won of the online casinos event qualifiers to make it even remotely far in the Late Night Poker event. More information on just how those final moments at the poker table ended the event can be found on the PartyPoker site.
