Marcus Petersson is the new swedish champion of poker. Petersson made it to the final table with a small stack, but somehow he managed to double up a couple of times and after 6 hours of play he was playing heads-up against Johan Beg. It only took one hand before both players were all in - Petersson with AA and Berg with AJ. Marcus Petersson's pocket aces, believe it or not, stood up all the way to the river and he's now the new swedish champion of poker. For the win he received the first place prize of €44,240.

Casino di Venezia in Malta was yesterday robbed by 5 armed men who demanded cash from the casino workers. The 5 robbers got away with around €100,000 (probably much more) and then escaped on a speedboat. After that the police heard about the robbery, they rushed to casino with cars, boats and helicopters looking for the robbers speedboat. However, the only thing they have found so far is a car in the sea, which they believe was used by the 5 robbers.

The Swedish Championship of poker is supposed to be played at Casino di Venezia in April this year. Let's hope that this wont effect the tournament and that they will find the 5 robbers as soon as possible.
