Online Poker InformationSwedish player Andreas Jörbeck is the latest winner of the 2008 PartyPoker Late Night Poker Tournament. Jörbeck survived a final table that featured an army of pros including Ian Frazer, German bracelet holder and 2007 Premier League runner-up Eddy Scharf, Surinder 'The Cobra' Sunar, WPT and EPT champion Roland de Wolfe, 2008 Premier League winner Andy Black, Maria Demetriou and 2007 Late Night Poker Masters champion David Tighe.

"To win an event as prestigious as Late Night Poker against Europe's top professionals in my first live event is quite something, I've been playing online poker for around four years with relatively small stakes and never thought something like this would happen to Me." said Jörbeck.

Jörbeck defeated poker pro Roland de Wolfe in the heads-up. De Wolfe was considered the favorite to win the tournament; however, Jörbeck wisely applied a lot of patience and careful playing to secure the title. At the final hand Jörbeck defeated de Wolfe with A-A-A vs. K-K. "I really, really fancied this but in the end it just wasn't my day." said de Wolfe.

Next up for Jörbeck is a trip on the Party Poker Million VI in Europe in May, which he has qualified for online. The total prize pool for this year’s edition was $245,000 plus an extra $90,000 added by PartyPoker and $125,000 for the first prize. A total of 49 players entered the $5000 buy-in including ten online qualifiers who got their seats through exclusive satellites held at PartyPoker.

"Andreas' achievement is huge when you consider that every other player at that final table was an aggressive pro and that he was the only online qualifier who made the final. Credit must also go to Roland de Wolfe - finishing runner-up in Late Night Poker and the Premier League is very impressive." a PartyPoker.com spokesman said.
