Day 2 EPT Copenhagen: Emerging Forces
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to Day 2 of EPT Copenhagen, an event that started with 298 players and so far has 179 remaining. When the dust settles on these major tournaments you will generally find that the Champions often come from the early leaders of these fields. So let's have a look at some of the likely candidates.
The person leading the field is the very experienced Steve O'Dwyer. O'Dwyer has big time major final table experience on his CV, with a 2nd place finish at EPT London and a 2nd and 6th place finish at WPT final tables. So with 190,975 chips O'Dwyer is an excellent candidate.
Sitting in fifth place with 115,475 chips is Roberto Romanello. Not only does the Welshman know how to win a major event (EPT Prague and WPT Bratislava titles) but he also has form playing in this very casino after his final table appearance in the year that Anton Wigg won the tournament. Maybe the only thing stopping Romanello is the two-time EPT Champion curse?
Or maybe the title will go to a local lad? If so then Day 1b chip leader Mads Wissing is good value. Wissing has two six figure scores to his name and also an 11th place finish at this very event, the year Wigg won. Wissing starts the day with 127,575 chips.
Other players to keep a watchful eye on today will be Marcel Bjerkmann, Juha Helppi, Grzegorz Cichocki and former champion Anton Wigg. Johnny Lodden, Mickey Petersen, Theo Jorgensen, Luca Pagano, Martin Staszko, Arnaud Mattern and Pierre Neuville all represent Team PokerStars Pros.
