Steve O'Dwyer is looking to pickup where he left off at the end of last season as he came oh so close to capturing the 2011 PTPR Tournament Poker Player of the Year crown - finishing second at WPT Venice.
Now back on the EPT circuit, O'Dwyer is the chip leader after Day 1 play at EPT Copenhagen, presented by PokerStars.com, where O'Dwyer and 298 other players have congregated for a shot at EPT Gold!
O'Dwyer (2011 PTPR Rank: 3rd) won the Bellagio Cup and one of the Epic Poker League Pro/Am events last season. O'Dwyer will bring a 25K chip lead over his closest opponent on Day 2 Wednesday.
Another PTPR Top 10 player from last season finds himself with a top chip stack. Roberto Romanello (2011 PTPR Rank: 9th) is fifth in chips after Day 1 while Finnish legend Juha Helppi (2011 PTPR Rank: 152nd) and PTPR sensation Marcel Bjerkmann (2011 PTPR Rank: NR) also hold top stacks.
