Early Nerves?
Playing at the final table of the WSOPE can even be more nerve-racking. Scandinavians are known for keeping their cool at the tables. But deep down inside, I'm sure that everyone is a little bit rattled. After all, they are playing for £1,000,000 and a bracelet.
If I had to give an edge to any of the final table players, it has to be Theo Jorgensen. Not only is he the oldest player at the table (at a whopping 35 years young), he has experience playing in big events. He made the final TV table of the EPT Scandinavian Open at the Casino Copenhagen, in his hometown of Copenhagen. He took 4th place there. He also made the final table at the WSOP in Las Vegas this summer for the $5,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud. He took 5th in that event. His final table featured Phil Ivey, Ted Lawson, Marco Traniello and eventual winner Chris Reslock.
Jorgensen has played with the big boys. He doesn't have the biggest stack, but his experience and maturity gives him an extra edge.
