Andreas Jörbeck dramatically won the PartyPoker.com Late Night Poker 2008 TV tournament, beating Andy Black, Eddy Scharf, Surinder Sunar, David Tighe, Maria Demetriou, and Ian Frazer to win the $125,000 first prize. He beat Roland De Wolfe heads up when his A-10 stood up against K-3 on an A-A-K flop.
“Roland played really well throughout,” he said. “But I started to relax and adopt a more aggressive approach when we were threehanded.
“To win an event as prestigious as Late Night Poker against Europe’s top professionals in my first live event is quite something. I’ve been playing online poker for around four years with relatively small stakes and never thought something like this would happen to me.”
