UPPSALA - Hans Wikström has won the Swedish Championship 2011. Also the runner-up (Eva Pettersson) and the player number three (Jonas Thorén) were from Sweden.

Thanks to this result, Hans Wikström qualified for the Open European Mahjong Championship 2011 in Venice.

Hans was very lucky to win the title in the very last game. He tells MahjongNews: “In the last round I had minus 160 and 0 table points before the last hand, so I needed a big hand to get at least 1 table point. And I did, with just five tiles left I self-picked 1 kong, all pung, single wait, upper 4 and mixed shifted pungs! I forgot terminal pung but that had no importens, lucky me!”
