Jan Skampa - Champion!
My, this has been a very good couple of weeks for Mr. Jan Skampa. Things were already looking rather nice when he took fourth place at last month's EPT Vilamoura to put the 23-year-old student up to third in the all-time Czech money list - but with the even nicer €682,000 he's just picked up here, he's just moved up to number one, to the voluble joy of the mostly local rail.

We saw aggression, but over the three hours of three-way play and the three or four hours of heads-up play that followed, we saw patience too. Young Mr. Skampa has proved himself a versatile and talented player, and fully deserving of the pile of money and the shiny trophy that are now his.

Prague has always been one of the most welcoming and entertaining stops on the EPT tour, and 2009's sojourn here in the Czech Republic has been no exception. As Jan Skampa raises his new EPT trophy in his own home town and the rest of us all begin the long trudge home to our various corners of the world, it's goodbye from us, and it's goodbye from them.
