WPT NTL DENMARK: O'DWYER BACK IN THE SADDLE, LEADS IN DENMARK

Steve O'Dwyer is at it again. The American has been dominating the European ranks for months now and this weekend, he's at it again!

O'Dwyer (2011 PTPR Rank: 3rd) had an amazing 2011 season on the poker circuit and is already in good shape to start 2012. After finishing 7th at EPT Copenhagen last week, O'Dwyer is in total control as final table play is set to begin at WPT National Norway.

Like the WPT Regional Series in the US, the WPT National Series has lower buy-in tournament that are not part of the regular tour yet, we have already seen some top level talent in both Series.

O'Dwyer holds almost half the chips at the WPT Final Table and seems destined to earn his second PTPR Score of 2012 and is the overwhelming favourite to win it all on Saturday at Casino Munkebjerg Vejle in Denmark.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner and former Master Classics of Poker champion Jan Sorensen is surely going to be a major threat to O'Dwyer on Saturday, Sorensen (2011 PTPR Rank: 2356th) enters final table play fourth in chips.
