. The action was checked back to Vance, who stood up, rubbing his hands together, before announcing a bet of 133,000. Dervaux folded, Hansen moved all in for 274,000, Nielsen folded, and Vance went back into his pacing and talking act, wondering aloud what his opponent had. "You have a set of fours, sir?

IT student Magnus currently earns around 4,000 Danish kroner a month (about €500) so whatever he wins today is going to make a difference to his life. He’s certainly planning to buy a car if he wins, but he’s also considering turning pro at the end of his studies. His biggest result to date was qualifying for Copenhagen and he normally plays $100 NLHE cash games. Besides poker, Magnus is also a keen Counterstrike player and is a member of one of the top 20 teams in the world.

Vance showed A-T, but Jensen held a seven for the straight and took it down.Søren Jensen caught people’s attention early on in Copenhagen with an amazing emotional outburst after taking down a huge pot on Day 2. Shouting “Come on Jutland” and “Come on the Whites” after his local football team, Søren headed out into the corridor, striding up and down and punching the air with his fist. He said: “If I win a big pot, I have to Søren walk away from the table and calm down. I’m very emotional. It’s my personality.” Today Soren, who manages a car painting business in Arhus, says he’s focused and “100% sure” he’ll win. He’s been playing poker for seven years after switching from whist, and now plays high-stakes 10/20 and 20/40 NLHE cash games. He bought in to Copenhagen just one minute before registration closed. Søren cashed at the 2006 WSOP, but today’s guaranteed win of at least €76,000 will be his best result to date. He said: “I work, so I don’t really have much time for tournaments and this is my first EPT. But I’m very competitive. I’m one of four brothers and we grew up always competing against each other. I’m born to be a winner.” Søren is supported today by younger brother Lars and girlfriend Bettina.
Flop
Simon checked and Rasmus bet 106,000. Tim started to sing yet again as he contemplated what to do. Tim seemed to be more interested in Simon's hand instead of what Rasmus had; directing his interrogation on Simon.
After a couple of minutes of inane chatter, both to himself and his opponents, he ended up raising to 250,000. Simon folded and so did Rasmus.
Vance has been involved in six consecutive pots in a row thus far.
