Reuben Peters won the PokerStars European Poker Tour | IXGAMES
Reuben Peters from Colorado, USA, won the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Dublin title and more than EUR 500,000 after beating Annette Obrestad – from Norway. Peters successfully overturned a massive chip lead against Obrestad, 19, who won GBP 1 million at the World Series of Poker Europe in September. The 45-year-old stock trader, known as *seaanchor* online, is a regular PokerStars qualifier. He has won several seats at the PCA and the WSOP (where he cashed in the main event last year). Peters’ wife Amy is back home looking after the couple’s two children: Charlie, 12, and Martha-Jane, 14. 
Annette Obrestad (Norway)Â dominated the final table in Dublin and had a five to one chip lead over Peters once they were down to two players. She was clearly dissatisfied at the way she allowed Peters to recover, and the EUR 297,800 prize money for second place was little consolation. (Annette Obrestad became the youngest ever WSOP bracelet winner in September. She is also one of only five women to make an EPT final table: Vicky Coren (who won EPT London last season), Anina Gundesen, Xuyen Pham and Team PokerStars Pros Katja Thater and Isabelle Mercier). A total of 221 poker players from 26 countries competed in Dublin creating a prize pool of EUR 1,701,700. They included 60 players who won their seats online with PokerStars. The next EPT is in Prague from December 5-10, 2007 followed by the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in January. Satellites for Prague, the PCA and the EPT Grand Final are running on Poker Stars now. Satellites for EPT Dortmund (January 29 – February 2) start on December 3, 2007.
