An American is the latest winner on the European Poker Tour, as PokerStars qualifier Tim Vance won the tour’s stop in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Vance, a 46-year-old construction company manager from near St. Louis, Missouri, won the first prize of 21,086,400 Danish Kroner (around 830,000 Euros or more than $1.2 million). He outlasted 460 players to earn the title of the tournament, which had a prize pool of about 3 million Euros ($4.5 million)

Vance entered the final table with a huge chip lead, more than 1.4 million in chips to the second-place competitor’s 800,000.

Once the tournament got to heads up, there were apparently hundreds of hands played between Vance and Denmark’s Soren Jensen, with few confrontations. Vance finally won when Jensen shoved into his Vance’s nut flush on the turn. For a look back at the heads up battle, you can check out pokerlistings.com.
