Here is the first-ever final table of the Chicago European Championship. The four players remaining are from Sweden, Norway and Finland. Here are some quotes from the players before the final table commenced.
The sole Swede, Per Joergen Bergstroem, said "it is my favourite game" and that "he has been playing for years".
Finnish national Verneri Hakkinen said, "I got lucky to be here, I got good cards all the way through." He considered "The Swede" to be the favorite in this tournament.
Norwegian national John Eirik Nergaard Boine, said, "I saw the schedule and thought I would give it a go. I've played something similar before in Norway called Poker Cool, it's basically the same." He also considered Bergstroem to be the favourite.
The second Norwegian, Morten Antonsen said, "My friend knows how to play, and I have been playing with them so I thought I would have a go. I don't know who the favorite is but it won't be me, if there's a Swede, it is probably him. This is my first time playing properly."
Good luck to the final tablists.
