Well, the room is packed, so there are a lot of players.
During our first round we mostly found Dutch Unibet Open regulars. Former Unibet Open champion Mateusz Moolhuizen is playing, with his good friend and Unibet Open regular Johan Goslings on the table right next to him. Moolhuizen drove here in his new car along with Hans de Hond who also owns a car made for speeding.
Bracelet winner Vincent van der Fluit is here, Unibet ambassador Dan Glimne was spotted, and Mikael "Micky" Norinder is ready for action here on Day 1a.
Once again the Unibet Open has set foot in Copenhagen; it's time for the tours third edition in the Danish capital. Again Copenhagen will be the stage for four days of poker action from the casino inside the Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel.
This event debuted on the Unibet Open calendar back in 2013. In march of that year it was Kassem Yassine who took down the event for 725,000 Danish kronen (€107,367/$126,744). Last year hometown favorite and former EPT champ Frederik Jensen outlasted everyone and claimed victory in the sold out event for the sum of DKr 625,000 (€83,750/$116,168).
The hotel was already buzzing with players late last night, so it promises to be a busy tournament again. PokerNews is here from start to finish to bring you updates on all the big names playing this event, the local heros going for their first deep run, and the qualifiers bluffing the pro's.
Play will start at noon (in about 3 hours) and players will have a 30,000 start stack to work with. All levels will be 60 minutes long with the first level being 50/100, meaning a 300 big blind stack awaits the players. After every second level a 15-minute break will be held, the structure dictates a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level.
