Twenty-two year old Danish pro Younas R\u00f8nhoff<\/strong> is on cloud nine right now after turning a $265 partypoker satellite win into 610,000 Danish Kroner (approx. $100,000) by winning the World Poker Tour National Copenhagen Main Event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After qualifying for the WPT National Copenhagen Main Event at partypoker, R\u00f8nhoff took his seat at the major live event alongside 241 other players, each hoping to become a WPT National champion.<\/p>\n

R\u00f8nhoff flew under the radar for the first two days of the 10,000 DKK (\u20ac1,350) buy-in Main Event at the Casino Copenhagen<\/strong>, but Day 3 saw him storm up the leader board and reach the eight-handed final table as an overwhelming chip leader, one with over 40% of the total chips in play. R\u00f8nhoff won a massive pot of around 2.4 million chips late into Day 3 when his [Qx][Qx] held against Simon Nybo<\/strong>\u2019s [Ax][Kx].<\/p>\n

8<\/td>\nNiels Meibom-Larsen<\/td>\n569,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

With such a substantial chip lead, it was no surprise that R\u00f8nhoff sat back and allowed the other players to knock each other out. Martin B. Hansen<\/strong> was the first player to fall by the wayside and he was followed to the rail by Simon Nybo<\/strong>, Anders Rasmussen<\/strong>, Anders Fraulund<\/strong> and Allan Sandsgaard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Those eliminations left R\u00f8nhoff to take on Helge Rahbek<\/strong> for the title of WPT National Copenhagen champion. Going into heads-up, Rahbek held a two-to-one chip lead over the partypoker qualifier and after winning the vast majority of the early encounters, increased this lead to a seemingly unassailable 11-to-1 chip lead.<\/p>\n

It looked as if R\u00f8nhoff was dead and buried and would have to settle for the runner-up prize. That was until his [Ax][4x] caught an ace on the river to beat the [Qx][Jx] of Rahbek \u2013 which had flopped a queen \u2013 to double up. From that moment on, R\u00f8nhoff never looked back and had soon drawn level, prompting Rahbek to take up R\u00f8nhoff\u2019s offer of a deal of adding 55,000 DKK to second place.<\/p>\n

Soon after agreeing the deal, R\u00f8nhoff secured the title. With the board reading , Rahbek moved all-in with what turned out to be and R\u00f8nhoff instantly called having made two pair with his . Rahbek was eliminated and a delighted R\u00f8nhoff had won his first major live title.<\/p>\n

Shortly after receiving his trophy, R\u00f8nhoff revealed that he won’t be investing much of his winnings into larger buy-in tournaments, instead he plans to continue attempting to satellite into them instead \u2013 hopefully at partypoker!<\/p>\n
