Pot-Limit Omaha is perhaps the ultimate action game and tonight's final table was no exception. Compared to the nearly 15-hour marathon we witnessed a few nights ago at the £2,500 H.O.R.S.E., tonight's final table clocked in at a brisk seven hours of play, with Copenhagen's Theo Jorgensen riding the chip lead he brought to the final all the way to victory. Seven pros and one decorated amateur all fell by the wayside, as Jorgensen channeled his run-good powers, even hitting quads in back-to-back hands to eliminate both Chris "Jesus" Ferguson and Jason Mercier.

Jorgensen is no stranger to a WSOP final table. Out of the four times he's cashed at the series, he's made three final tables and now can add a WSOP bracelet to his growing collection of poker accolades.

Though the Scandinavians can at times be a stoic lot, the affable Jorgensen is a notable exception and nothing could wipe the ear-to-ear grin off his face as he wrapped his first bracelet around his wrist and posed for the cameras. That's two out of three now for the Danes at the WSOP-Europe, as his fellow countryman Jesper Hougaard took down the £1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event earlier this week.

Congratulations to Theo Jorgensen, tonight a happy man indeed as he left the stage to celebrate with his friends.
