And the winner is…
April 26th, 2008… Ola Brandborn!
The blinds were 12,000 / 24,000. Ola limped in the small blind, and Loc went all-in for about 600,000. Ola instacalled and flipped up two red queens - Q♥Q♦. Loc showed K♦8♦.
For some extra excitement, the board came A♣5♦3♦ which gave Loc a flush draw as well as the king overcard. But the turn and the river brought no help, and Ola was crowned the Swedish Champion of No-Limit Hold’em. Our heartiest congratulations to Ola, and to second place finisher Loc Ly.
Ola rakes in the winning pot… Then he gave his winner’s speech, and expressed his happiness of finally having reached the status of an average player. (He was the first player to bust out of last year’s Swedish Championship).
