Copenhagen Welcomes the Unibet Open
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.
