As we expected, the Danish cheering squad is with us today in the final table arena, supporting their two countrymen who are still left in the final four. We didn't expect them to show up in such style though.

After seeing their pal Rene Mouritsen take down a big pot yesterday with king-seven, or king with the axe, all of the Danes have showed up today with crowns and axes!

If you look at the picture closely, you might recognize one Jesper Hoagaard who won a bracelet earlier this summer in Event 36, a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event.
