Local hero Mickey ��mement_mori�� Petersen is one of the most successful online poker tournament players Denmark has ever produced. It��s a game he discovered while playing Magic: The Gathering, and one he started to master while taking a year off from his studies.

He also started qualifying for live PokerStars events around the world and he��s a regular on the European Poker Tour.
Most of his biggest online results have been scored in PokerStars�� SCOOP events, including runner-up in a $2,100 No Limit Hold��em event in 2010 for $169,286. Mickey has also cashed in several other SCOOP events, all of which have helped him become one of the highest earners in the history of the series, with more than $500,000 in winnings. He��s also won big in other PokerStars online tourneys, including third place in the Sunday Warm-Up helping him top several online Player of the Year and Leader Board rankings.
Winning an EPT title is high on Petersen��s list of career goals. He��s only cashed in one Main Event before �C EPT Barcelona this season �C but has ten cashes in EPT side events including fourth at the EPT Grand Final �5,000 event in Season 6 for �73,400. He currently lives in London.
