"Late Night Poker 2008" a win by an online player
 March 20, 2008, 7:21 am (3 years ago)During the grand final broadcast Tuesday night of the "PartyPoker Late Night Poker" the viewers of Channel 4 in the United Kingdom got to witness 36-year-old Andreas Jorbeck defeat a final table full of pros to win the 2008 series.
Jorbeck, from Stockholm, Sweden, won his seat in the tournament through an online satellite at PartyPoker and defeated several pros to win the 2008 season of Late Night Poker.
The final table included Eddy Scharf, Surinder Sunar, Roland de Wolfe, Andy Black, Ian Frazer, Maria Demetriou and David Tighe.
"To win an event as prestigious as Late Night Poker against Europe's top professionals in my first live event is quite something," said Jorbeck. "I've been playing online poker for around four years with relatively small stakes and never thought something like this would happen to me."
Jorbeck made it to the final table through Heat 5 of the event, where he was pitted against fellow online qualifier Jon Parsons as well as Joe Beevers, Liam Flood, Rene Mouritsen, Agnieszka Rylik and Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott. Conquering Heat 5 earned Jorbeck a seat at the grand final.
When the grand final began, Jorbeck was probably not favored to win, but it didn't take long for him to start making his mark on the table.
Andy Black took out the first player, banishing British pro Maria Demetriou to the rail when his pocket kings held up against her pocket queens. Black then took out Ian Frazer as well with A-K against A-T, and a king on the flop paired up Black.
