Seat 6: Morten Guldhammer, 35, Aalborg, Denmark (2,033,000)

[user66118]

Morten Guldhammer is the fairytale story of the final table. He won his seat in EPT Copenhagen through a series of tournaments run by PokerStars with the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.

First he beat 1,457 opponents in a $1 buy-in tournament. Then he beat 15 other tournament winners for his EPT Copenhagen package. Normally only a freeroll player, he has already earned more than ever before – and has surpassed his pre-tournament goal of making day two.

He has cultivated a loose aggressive style during the tournament and was responsible for bursting the bubble – beating Craig Hopkins – and knocking out at least five others en route to the final table and a stack of more than two million.
