Last Night, Sweden pulled off an amazing victory in the PartyPoker.com Poker Nations Cup. The strong playing Swedish team, captained by Bo Sehlstedt, scooped $100,000 for their efforts.

It was an entertaining evening, especially for Swedish poker fans. The Swedish team, which included 2006 WSOP bracelet winners Anders Henriksson and Mats Rahm, as well as Johan Storakers, William Thorsson and online qualifier Hans Isoz, ran out spectacular winners of the highly regarded team event, even though the odds had been against them at the begining.

It was Anders Henriksson who turned it in favour for Sweden. He faced a daunting task when it came to heads-up vs. U.S. Player Robert Williamson III. Henriksson sat down with just 12,000 Chips for Sweden and looked like the huge underdog against Williamson and America's 88,000 Chips.

However, the Swede quickly doubled up and defeated his opponent in a superb display of poker. Henriksson was delighted. "It is great to win. I always thought we were in with a chance because we had a very strong team. It didn't seem to be going good for a while but once I had doubled-up from almost nothing my confidence started to rise." USA captain Williamson III was devastated to have thrown away such a huge chip lead and could only say, "I don't need a bar right now, I need a doctor."

Defending champions Great Britain steamrollered the field for the first few days and were runaway favourites to win going into the final. However, in a style only comparable to an England batting collapse, Team GB blew a great chance.
