I love these kind of stories! EPT Copenhagen was won by a player who earned his seat in an online freeroll.
Tim Vance, a 46-year-old American construction company boss from near St Louis, won the EPT Copenhagen and a record first prize of 6,220,488 Danish kroner. Vance didn’t pay anything to enter the 50,000 DKK No Limit Hold’em event – instead he qualified online in a satellite.
Filled with emotion as he picked up his EPT champion’s trophy, father of one Tim Vance said:
“Winning the title was at least as important to me as the money but I knew I was going to win today– I was the best player and I wanted it the most. It was a tough competition though – as tough as anywhere I’ve ever played and now I just can’t wait to call my daughter Nancy. She’s been watching it back home with her grandmother.”
