Peter Eichardt from Sweden won the Second Chance Plus 2 at Ladbrokes Poker last night and $22,037.50 into the bargain! The entire tournament with 212 runners was a fraught battle; the bubble alone lasted 45 minutes. SOXxxxxx was the unlucky contender eventually was awarded the Bubble mantle.
The tournament in total lasted little over 9 hours and amazingly three hours of this was nail-bitingly tense, Heads-Up play between 42 year old Eichardt (who features in pokers top 30 of Sweden all money list) and 28 year old ilove2s, from Upminster in the UK.
Apart from his win last night, Peter has achieved a number of poker accolades. He placed in the top twenty of two WSOP Pot Limit events and has amassed over $400,000 in numerous tournament wins over the years. Now he is guaranteed a place in the November 22nd Masters Event and will be playing for a seat in the semi-finals of The Ladbrokes Poker Million VII. His Second Chance Plus 2 win, puts him 25th on the LEOCOP Leaderboard with 481 points.
Only three days of the Ladbrokes Poker festival remain and as usual Ladbrokes Poker has saved the best till last. The $500+50 Short Handed Championship tonight (Fri) has an eye watering $15,000 added and the Heads-Up Championship on Saturday $10,000 added! Savvy players can still qualify for these and Sunday's LEOCOP $1000 + $100 Main Event with $250,000 added. With a total of $500,000 added and a potential Poker Million VII semi final seat, this is one of the best value online poker festivals ever.
Edward Ihre, MD of Ladbrokes Poker commented: "The standard of poker play for the entire festival has been outstanding. I think the winner of each tournament has proved his tenacity and poker know how and if the festival events so far are anything to go by the Main Event and the Masters Event will be a war! If you're not fortunate enough to be in the tourneys make sure you watch them online.
