The $500 NL HE tournament, the first of the major events on the cruise, was won last night by Claus Nielsen, a poker journalist from Copenhagen. Claus ("jeteast"), beat Wilson Chan (cold_turkey) in a heads-up battle that lasted just two hands. This is Claus' biggest offline tournament win cashing for $23,230.
