The Cash Trio

EPT News The European Poker Tour Copenhagen Main Event proved to be a bit disappointing this year with a small turn out. There were only 423 entrants and not many well-known poker online celebrities showing up to play. The winner, Anton Wiggs from Sweden, won the 37,250 Danish kroner buy-in and took home 672,000 in prize money. The final table of nine featured six Scandinavian players. Second place winner, Francesco De Vivo, is from Italy and he won 416,000. Denmark was represented by four poker online players at the final table, with Richard Loth finishing best among them in fifth place for 130,000. This year’s small turn-out was blamed on the simultaneous staging of the first North American Poker Tour, which attracted many poker celebrities that participate in the poker online tournament circuit around the world. The next stop for the EPT is in March in Berlin, which is the first time it has been held in Germany’s capital city instead of the traditional location of Dortmund. Other upcoming events will held in several European cities, including: Saalbach/Hinterglemm, Austria, from March 21-26; San Remo, Italy from April 15-21; Le Sporting Club, Monaco, April 25-30. The San Remo buy-in is 5,000+300 Euro with a cap at 1,100 players. The Monaco buy-in is 10,000+600 Euro with a 1,000 player limit.
