Seat 9: Kenny Nielsen – 791,000
Kenny Nielsen, a 36-year-old physical therapist from Sorø, Denmark has been playing poker for eight years. Primarily playing poker as a hobby, Nielsen prefers cash games over tournaments. Nielson is one of two Danish players at the final table (the other is Jeppe Drivsholm).
His largest tournament cash to date came back in 2005 when he finished 27th in a $10,000 buy-in WPT event, scoring a $41,705 payday. When asked yesterday, “What do you want the world to know about you?” Nielsen replied: “That I have won the APPT in Macau tomorrow!” Nielsen will unbag 791,000 in chips at the start of Sunday’s final table.
