Ryan Swanberg wins Minnesota State Poker Championship
By 
Ryan Swanberg, who flew to Minnesota from just outside Detroit, Michigan, is the 2010 Minnesota State Poker Champion.
Swanberg, who turned 30 years old at the stroke of midnight, entered the final table as chip leader, and he wound up defeating James Nytes heads-up for the victory. The final hand saw Nytes raise to 120k from the button with blinds at 20/40k. Swanberg moved all in with QJ, and Nytes called off his remaining 500k with A6.
The river brought a J, shipping $45,000 and the championship to Swanberg.
