Seat 6: Morten Mortensen, 21, Copenhagen, Denmark – 780,000
Mortensen started playing poker almost three years ago. In 2010 he reached a handful of final tables, his biggest cash being for $67,000. He played his first EPT in Copenhagen in Febrary, busting late on day 2. He plans to play a lot more EPTs in future, probably Berlin and San Remo, and also this summer’s World Series. “It’s always a problem with the tax in Denmark, but Vegas is a good experience for me as a poker player,” he said. Despite all of these trips his bread and butter are online tournaments, where he has already achieved numerous five figure cashes.
