Prize Pool for Copenhagen Poker Tournament Expected to Reach €1.8m

Direct buy-ins are now sold out, but you can qualify via the 32Red Online Poker Room

The winner of this contest in the frozen Scandinavian north could take home €525,000. We're talking the European Poker Tour's four day Scandinavian Open poker event which takes place in Copenhagen next year between January 17 and 20.

Direct buy-ins were in big demand by international poker pros and have already been sold out, but aspiring champs can still gain entry by fighting their way through the various satellite competitions on leading online poker sites.  These have low buy-ins and the victors can win themselves travel and entry packages for the big event next year, where they can pitch their poker skills against some of the top players in the world.
 
With a prize pool of €1.8 million there will be stiff competition, but a sizeable number of players will find themselves "in the money" even if that massive first place eludes them.
