One of the people in the poker world I count in as a really good friend is William Thorson. He’s not just an funny guy to be around, he’s also a good friend and an excellent poker player. He’s also one of the few people who’ve been at almost every tourney I’ve reported on so of course I’ve spent loads of hours following him, specially since almost three years ago when he signed with PokerStars since I run the Scandinavian poker blog there. I’ve watched him busting out in 13th place in the World Series Main Event 2006. I’ve seen him on final tables but up until now I haven’t seen him winning a big tourney. I’ve waited for it and I’ve been sure it was only a matter of time. For ONCE I wasn’t there when it finally came. In Tallinn late last night the big success came. He won the 222 player strong field in PokerStars Baltic Festival and €80 823. Sooo very nice. When I got the text yesterday I almost started to cry out of happiness. GG WP M8!

It’s summer. Haven’t had time to play online what so ever. I played last Sunday and playing the WSOP qualifier on PokerStars tonight but apart from that I’ve just enjoyed the heat, the sun, the summer and being in love. On Monday I went to see my friends Alcazar performing at the LOVE2010-festival in Stockholm, on Tuesday a few poker players had dinner at a really nice restaurant. After way too many drinks we ended up at the casino for more drinks. I did play but only for 35 minutes before they closed. We were eight people going there and everybody won. Soo nice. We had to celebrate this. The celebration ended up with us all going fishing in the morning.

On Tuesday I invited a chef to my place and some friends came over. Anders, the chef, is excellent and served us amazingly good food. To this we also had a lot of great Amarone wine.

Yesterday we had a wedding in Stockholm. A wedding I think most of you have heard about. It was our crown princess in Sweden who had found her prince and the big wedding was taking place yesterday. The whole Stockholm was crowded by people who wanted to see the bridal couple. For me I had a whole other marriage to witness. It was my great old friend Jonas who had found his own princess Charlotte Afterwords I went out with some poker people (like usual). A very WET night with a lot of crazy things going on but we had a lot of fun. Been really tired today and now I’m gonna take it easy until I go to Vegas on Wednesday.
