The 2nd Annual Scandinavian Poker Awards took place last night (February 18) at the elegant Vega Nightclub in Copenhagen. Hosted by Team PokerStars Pro and poker legend Daniel Negreanu, the awards saw five highly-talented players from Sweden, Denmark and Norway receive recognition for their superb achievements.
