Anton Wigg Wins the 2010 EPT Copenhagen! (3,675,000 DKK)

[user46392]

It took him a while, but in the end 22 year old pro Anton Wigg from Stockholm picked himself up a few nice souvenirs from here in Copenhagen - his first ever EPT cash, the shiny trophy, the endless admiration of poker players everywhere - and of course, the massive stack of lovely Danish kroner.

Coming back with nine players today instead of the usual eight, it was always going to be a long day - but nothing could have prepared anyone for the epic heads-up battle that would eventually play out.

Wigg was involved in more than one big preflop showdown and he always seemed to have the best hand, but luck was not going his way and at one point in the heads-up match his opponent Francesco de Vivo had a 12:1 chip lead over Wigg.

Nevertheless Wigg recovered and and at more than three and a half hours it was beginning to rival the marathon heads up between Tim Vance and Soren Jensen here two years ago when Wigg's hand finally held up to deliver him the title and trophy he so thoroughly earned here today.

We understand that the bar is still open, and everyone here at the Casino Copenhagen deserves a drink following another enormously successful EPT. So until next month in Berlin, it's goodbye from all at the Casino Copenhagen, PokerStars, and PokerNews.com.
