No Mickey Mouse Results

I’d never been to Copenhagen before but I distinctly remember my sister coming back from an exchange trip there and being less than impressed with the place. I spent a lot of time in the hotel oversleeping and re-watching the still hilarious Peep Show and mixing in a lavish meal at the worlds best restaurant Noma and the also very very decent Herman.

The main event was bad for me, I lost a few pots to get down to 8k, doubled up twice by ruining at least one persons life before having my own life put into a state of disarray by former EPT Prague winner Roberto Romanello when I thought getting 5 bets in on a QTx flop with AQ was a remotely good idea. He had a set of tens and I was sent packing tail firmly between legs.

I did find a spot of luck in the 16200kr side event (about €2 bags) where I ended up getting a 5th for a decent chunk of the local currency. Far more interestingly though my good friend Mickey Petersen or better known to a lot of the online community as mement_mori had a stroke of self-realization and decided it was time to seize the day by winning an EPT of his own.

I was absolutely over the moon for the lad and especially after a grueling 6 hour heads up battle against Pierre Neuville I know he would have been nothing but disappointed unless he closed it out. Welcome to the club Mickey!

Before that I played a tournament in Venice with no luck against the Italians and have been getting away decent online volume with mixed results. The next stop for me is IPT Nova Gorica in Slovenia a stop long term readers will remember I took my parents to for a €500 tournament way back in 2007. After that it’s EPT Madrid before an absolutely packed end of March all the way through April culminating in the fantastic EPT Grand Final back in its rightful home of Monte Carlo where I get another shot at the champions of champions freeroll!
