Petersen, who won EPT Copenhagen in his home country earlier this season, had to overcome the charge of two poker legends on his way to victory.
Chris Bjorin (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-76th) was the runner-up in the event. Bjorin's impressive poker resume includes two WSOP bracelets ... Bjorin has also made it to four final tables in the past two WSOP's, all in non-hold'em events.
It was a third place finish for 2004 WPT Grand Prix de Paris champ Surinder Sunar (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-1,667th).
Sunar's first live tournament cash dates back to January of 1987 where he min-cashed in a 1K NLH event at the Poker Grand Prix at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. The eventual winner of that event? Chip Reese!
