Polish Card Player Reader Runner-Up in Battle of Mags

Last week's paddypowerpoker.com Battle of the Mags TV tournament went right to the wire for Polish Card Player reader Krzysztof Zajac when he came runner-up to Irish Poker Pro reader John Donnelly in a battle for a £14,000 tournament package deal that takes in European Poker Tour stops in Prague, Copenhagen, and the Irish Open in Dublin.

Seven players made the televised final table, each having qualified via a 1,200 player freeroll exclusive to their respective magazines.

1. John Donnelly (hackney driver) - Poker Pro Europe
   
2. Krzysztof Zajac (economics student, University of Katowice) - Card Player
   
3. Lars Henrik Buschman (accountant) - Online Gambler
   
4. Tina Walker (mother of three and housewife) - Total Poker
   
5. Grzegorz Swieboda (factory worker) - Antepost
   
6. Ronan Mc Laughlin (civil servant) - Poker Europa
   
7. John Duffy (oil tanker driver) - Flush
   

The winner, John Donnelly, living in Maynooth outside Dublin, attended this year's Irish Open as a spectator, but will be able to take his seat at next year's event.

Eric Booth, marketing manager at Paddy Power Poker, said, "The great thing about the Battle of the Mags promotion is that is gives the everyday reader of poker magazines a chance to experience the atmosphere of a live televised poker event while also giving them the chance to experience the life of a poker pro over the coming year. One lucky player will be entered into some of poker's most coveted tournaments where they get a chance to play for millions of euros."

The event will be broadcast on SKY Channel 843 at 8 p.m. on Friday Dec. 14 and will be repeated at 7 p.m. on the Dec. 16, 18, and 20.
