Norwegian takes home EPT Dortmund
Andreas Hoivold won the first ever European Poker Tour (EPT) tournament to be held in Germany. The Norwegian defeated Italy's Cristiano Bianco heads-up to win the German Open and €672,000 in prize money.
The duel for the title between Andreas Hoivold and Cristiano Bianco was a short one. Already in the second heads-up hand, Hoivold secured his victory when he called a pre-flop all-in move from Bianco.
Bianco showed Th-9d, and was in very bad shape against Hoivold's pocket queens. When the Norwegian made a set on the flop, Bianco was in need of an even bigger miracle, which didn't come. Hoivold won the hand and became EPT Champion.

This was the second time a player from Norway won a title in Season 3 of the European Poker Tour. In September, Bjorn-Erik Glenne won €691,000 in EPT Barcelona.
