A Swede has been crowned Prince of Denmark. The Swede in question, Emil Olsson, outlasted a 229-runner field to take the WPT Copenhagen title over the weekend.
Olsson started the day as the chip leader but his path to victory was not a smooth one and he need a fair bit of luck to get heads up. Pocket 4s proved to be his talisman not once but twice, winning a flip against A8 then cracking pocket 10s, both times at the expense of the unfortunate Philip Jacobsen.The Swede didn't need any luck when he did get two-handed with Morten Klein, grinding his way into the chip lead then sealed victory when his pocket Kings held against Klein's K8.1st Emil Olsson $229,9382nd Morten Klein $145,1643rd Philip Jacobsen $93,0804th Stanislav Barshak $68,3165th Robin Ylitalo $51,2376th Jan Djerberg $40,989Qualify for future events on the World Poker Tour at PartyPoker with a 100% first deposit bonus of up to $500.
