The WPT events in Europe are eight-handed, but the final table of the London event was perhaps the best-played final table in the history of the WPT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Everyone played well, but it was the young guns that &#8216;wowed&#8217; me &#8211; and they&#8217;ll &#8216;wow&#8217; you too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 4th place finisher was 21 year-old Kristoffer Thorsson from Sweden, but don&#8217;t let that 4th place finish fool you.  This kid is unreal.  His fearlessness, aggressiveness, and poker instincts are uncanny.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The runner-up, 24 year-old Nichlas Mattsson, also from Sweden, was impressive as well.  And the winner, 22 year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/remember-the-name-jake-cody.html\">Jake Cody<\/a>, is terrific!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Remember these names:  Kristoffer Thorsson and Jake Cody.  Here&#8217;s another name to remember, not from the WPT event, but from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/world-open-vi-live-blog-updates.html\">PartyPoker World Poker Open<\/a>.  He&#8217;s Sam Trickett\u00a0and he&#8217;s amazing! You&#8217;ll see these names in the winner&#8217;s circle in the future &#8211; time and time again!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you like good poker, do yourself a favor and don&#8217;t miss the WPT event from London.  You might not recognize the names, but it&#8217;s as good of poker as you&#8217;ll ever see.  And I promise you, you won&#8217;t forget Kirstoffer Thorsson and Jake Cody<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final table of the first-ever WPT event in London was sensational.
