Danish Champion ‘Soren Kongsgaard‘ has faced every online poker player nightmare. Loosing your internet connection while playing heads-up in the $1 million guaranteed on Full Tilt.Kongsgaard was playing the $500 buy-in tournament from Barcelona, where he lives most of the year. After loosing connection he tried everything to get connection again, but he could not help getting blinded away by the lucky winner BluffMagCV.

Kongsgaar tells: “I wasn’t able to get my connection back, and since I only had around 50 times the big blind and the antes were high, it didn’t take long before I had lost my chips.”

Eventhough it was a real nightmare he really stayed quite down-to-earth about what happened to him: “That’s just the way it is, there is nothing you can do about it.”.

The $1 million guaranteed final results were as following:

1. BluffMagCV — $197,984
2. Kongsgaard — $121,588
3. tmfd001 — $79,624
4. RGAR18 — $63,484
5. colenel decker — $48,420
6. DutchVinny — $34,647.20
7. JaeMills — $25,286
8. imgrinding — $19,906
9. Gettin Daize — $15,064

At the end, BluffMagCV earned $200k and Songsgaard just less then $125k. Even with this dissapointment Songsgaard should be satisfied about this year, he is on a real winning flow. One of the youngsters getting to the top in Europe.

He won the Scandinavian Open in Copenhagen, placed 3rd in the EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo and won the Danish Champion in september. All the best of luck to Soren Kongsgaard, with your career and with finding a better internet provider in Barcelona.
