The Scandinavian Open in Copenhagen provided the perfect setting for honouring the best players from Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

This year's ceremony was hosted by Daniel Negreanu. In carrying out this job, the US professional gave the impression of having found his future career once he finishes playing poker.

Daniel was a humorous and relaxed host for the evening. He even engaged in a little verbal banter with long-time rival Gus Hanson, who was named Best Live Player.

However, the big winner of the evening was definitely Annette Obrestad, who picked up two awards.

Six representatives of Scandinavian poker magazines sat on the jury.

The following poker players received awards:

Best Live Player - Gus Hansen, Denmark

Best Online Player - Jonas "Nebuchad" Danielsson, Sweden

Best Female - Annette Obrestad, Norway

Rookie of the Year - Trond Erik Eidsvig, Norway

Best Performance - Annette Obrestad, Norway

Lifetime Achievement Award - Thor Hansen, Norway

The celebrations were held in the Vega nightclub. However, most players were aiming to make it an early evening as the EPT was on the next day's agenda.
