Welcome to København!
The partial list of registrants that we peeked at hints at what we can expect this week. We've got the usual assortment of Team PokerStars Pros lined up, including Scandinavia's own Peter Eastgate, Johnny Lodden, and William Thorson. Annette Obrestad is registered to play too, and we expect to see a smorgasbord of other notable Scandies in the room when play kicks off tomorrow. In addition, just about 100 players have earned their seat through online satellites, many of them also from this region. A total of 340 runners have already registered, with room for just about 500 total.
We're still about 18 hours away from our start time, and the players and media are focused on tonight's Nordic Poker Awards. Our intrepid video team is heading for the red carpet as we speak, and we'll be sure to give you the scoop with videos and interviews from tonight's big event.
Now you're looking for a way to kill those 18 hours, so check out our PokerNews Jetset: Copenhagen to get a taste of what this city has to offer outside of the casino. Let's face it, though, you're a poker player, and the casino is all you care about. So join us right back here at noon CET as we start to raise some lint on the pristine new felt.
See you in the morning!
