Purple Lounge Poker Tour winds down in Stockholm

Bo Sehlstedt finished eighth in the Purple Lounge Poker Tour final.

The Purple Lounge Poker Tour (PLPT) final was taken down by Robin Ylitalo, an amateur. For his win, he was rewarded with a week-long trip for two to Macau.

A total of 30 players had gathered in Stockholm to play in the final. Some of the contestants had qualified online, while others had won their seats in live satellites.

Bo Sehlstedt, one of Sweden's most successful tournament players, had made his way to the PLPT final, but he was knocked out in eighth place.

Instead, amateur player Robin Ylitalo dominated the tournament. The young Swede eliminated several opponents on his way to the heads-up match against Kenneth Lund.

The battle between the two lasted for a while, before Ylitalo sealed the deal when his pocket threes held up all the way against Lund's Q-T.

Runner-up Lund received an Apple iTouch for his efforts in the event.
