In today’s World Series of Poker round-up Peter Eichardt wins the first European event of the summer, Alan Percal creates an upset in the heads-up, and Ian Johns beats Justin Bonomo to the H.O.R.S.E title.

Peter Eichardt becomes the first Swedish poker player to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet since Martin Jacobson ended up on top of the world.

Eichardt, 50, from Stockholm, is a part-time fiction writer, and he couldn’t have penned a more glorious happy ending than the one he played through in Event #6: $1,500 No-Limit Hold’em.

2,016 entrants created a prizepool of $2,721,600, and Eichardt, who has an 8th and 10th place finish in European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Event’s on his CV, ploughed through the lot to take home the $438,417 first prize.
