Peter Eichardt from Sweden has won the Second Chance Plus 2 and $22,037 into the bargain! The entire tournament drew 212 runners and was a fraught battle; the bubble alone lasted 45 minutes. SOXxxxxx was the unlucky contender eventually as he was awarded the bubble booby prize.

The tournament in total lasted a little over nine hours and amazingly three hours of this was nail-bitingly tense, heads-up play between 42 year old Eichardt (who features in Sweden's all-time 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 also puts him 25th on the LEOCOP Leaderboard with 481 points.

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."
