EPT Copenhagen
The EPT has never missed a season in Copenhagen – proof, as if any were needed – that Nordic players really love to play poker. This season the DKK 37,250 event is running from February 20-25, 2012 at Casino Copenhagen and, as always, is certain to attract hundreds of pros from all over the Nordic region and beyond.
Last year’s event was the second year running that a Swedish player won, with Michael Tureniec achieving one of the best results of his career, taking DKK 3,700,000 in first prize money (approximately €496,271) back home to Stockholm. Tureniec’s previous best result was runner-up at EPT London in Season 5. As always at EPT Copenhagen, Scandinavians dominated the field. There were 38 countries represented but more than half the 449 players came from Denmark (109), Sweden and Norway.
