The final hand:

{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for Black who limps in.
{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs} for de Wolfe who checks his big blind.

de Wolfe check-raises all in on the {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop.

Turn is the {8-Diamonds}, a great card for Black and leaving de Wolfe with only a six to survive.

River is the {2-Hearts}.

An emotional Andy Black throws his head to the sky.

Black overcame his demons. After making one huge mistake, he pulled himself together and played some wonderful poker.

The 2008 Party Poker Premier League Champion is Andy Black from Ireland.
