Once again, a Scandinavian player has come out on top at an
EPT event. Thirty-five-year-old Norwegian Andreas Hoivold took first place at the inaugural German
EPT event at Casino Hohensyburg in Dortmund, Germany.
Andreas is the second Norwegian to win an
EPT event this year. (Erik-Bjorn Glenne won in Barcelona earlier this season.)
Andreas is no stranger to the final tables, as he had an impressive third-place finish in the
Ladbrokes Poker Million in London in December.
By all accounts, the
EPT event in Dortmund was a tremendous success, with a record-breaking field of 493 (with 126 German players). Next stop on the
EPT is Warsaw, Poland.
