Casper Hansen Wins the WPT Spanish Championship

 

Final Hand - Season 7 WPT Spanish Championship

Hand #128 - Casper Hansen has the button, he completes to 60,000, Mattsson raises to 205,000, Hansen moves all in, and Mattsson calls with A9. Hansen shows A2, and he'll need to improve to win the tournament here.

The flop comes 552, and Hansen takes the lead with a pair of deuces. The turn is the J, and Mattsson needs an ace or a jack to chop, or a nine to win.

The river card is the K, and Casper Hansen wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with two pair, fives and deuces.

Stefan Mattsson finishes in second place, earning 220,000 € ($346,621).

Casper Hansen wins the Season VII WPT Spanish Championship, earning 400,000 € and a $25,500 seat into this season's WPT World Championship, which will take place at Bellagio in April, 2009. (The total prize value converts to $655,720.)
