Christer Johansson Wins the PaddyPower.com Irish Poker Open 2009 (€600,000)

Johansson: CHAMPION!
Johansson: CHAMPION!
After four long days of top-class poker, we finally have a winner. As Christer Johansson raised his hard-won trophy in the air and shiny confetti was thrown over him to the sound of enthusiastic applause from the rail, no one could find a bad word to say about the popular Scandinavian -- his play was apparently flawless. On top of that, the general consensus seemed to be that he is a jolly nice chap who thoroughly deserved his victory.

As the TV crew started to pack up the final table and the last remaining sickos headed for the cash tables until it was time to catch their flights home, everyone agreed that it had been a tournament to remember. Many thanks to PaddyPower.com for putting on a thoroughly excellent festival, and of course many congratulations to the winners.

From PokerNews.com in Dublin, it's over and out.
