Mickey Petersen sure picked the right time to win his first live tournament title. The online poker pro picks up over 2.5M DKK after winning the 2012 edition of EPT Copenhagen in Denmark.
Petersen (2011 PTPR Rank: 1155th) is widely known as one of the best poker players on the virtual felt and although he has had some live scores before, most felt is was only a matter of time for Petersen to pickup his first big victory on the live circuit.
Petersen - who wins the event in his native Denmark - slugged it out with Belgian pro Pierre Neuville for a grueling SIX hour marathon before a winner was declared.
Neuville (2011 PTPR Rank: 234th) had been in contention for a few days, having completed Thursday's play as the chip leader.
