406 players entered the 3 day main event but only one could walk away with the title of Champion and a winners cheque for just shy of €84,000.
That player, was Frederick Brink Jensen from Copenhagen, Denmark. Frederick was the final tables star player, with over $2m in live cashes, which include a 2nd place finish for over $1m in the Aussie Millions 2010 Main Event but more notably a win in the EPT Main Event in Madrid in 2012 for just under €500k. He showed his class throughout and in an amazing final hand that was as much of a see-saw hand that anyone could have possibly imagined he was crowned the Unibet Open Copenhagen 2014 Winner.
He held QJo vs the A7o of Emil Hegedus, the board ran out AQJ rainbow to give Frederick the bottom 2 pair, and Emil the top pair with his Ace. The money went in on the flop and the turn card shocked the rail, a 7!! The pendulum had swang back into Emil's favour and the crowd seemed shocked! However the Poker Gods in Denmark were on their chosen ones side and the Queen on the river filled Fredericks full house and ensured a cheer from an ecstatic rail. The event was a massive success and Unibet agin excelled in giving their poker players some amazing tournaments, fantastic parties and an event that will live long in the memory of every person involved. Congratulations to Frederick Brink Jensen and to Unibet, roll on Talinn!
