Purple Lounge Swedish tour ends

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Purple Lounge Swedish poker tour finally arrived at its last two dates, much to the disappointment of Swedish poker fans. After eight towns, eight clubs, many miles, several losers and a few winners, the tour hit Helsingborg and Vastervik to find the last eight finalists.

Club Cardinal hosted the first poker evening in Helsingborg and we were really sorry to have to turn away the many players that arrived hoping to fill a spare seat. However, the crowd stayed to watch the poker and this made for a great atmosphere with plenty of tension in the air.

The tour has been a huge success and we're extremely happy that the players have had such a great time with us along the way! We've seen some excellent poker play and we're looking forward to the grand final in October. Purple Lounge is returning to Stockholm for the final and it promises to be a really exciting evening from what we've seen so far on the tour.

We saw some very solid poker here and a very interesting start with two all-ins within the first 5 minutes. They were typical races seeing AA v KK and AK v QQ. After a round of applause for the first one out everyone knuckled down for some serious play. After seeing some spectacular play and horrific bad beats, including runner runner for the straight beating 3 of a kind on a rainbow flop and runner runner trips on the rag card, beating Aces, we found our final table. The play on this final table was exceptional, a super tough game.
