Poker History Peter
Jepsen is a professional poker player from Denmark. Jepsen took on
poker when under rehabilitation after a knee injury, which he picked up
during his stint in the Royal Danish Army serving his duty in Iraq. As
a pastime, Jepsen started playing poker online with friends and he
quickly started taking his new hobby seriously, playing against some of
the best in the business and taking up poker as his profession.
While
Peter Jepsen can often be found participating in tournaments and at
ring game tables on Betfair Poker, he’s still somewhat new to the live
tournament circuit - but already he has a few impressive performances
under his belt. In November 2006, Jepsen headed to St. Kitts for the
Caribbean Poker Classic, where he moved up through the field of 155
entrants to book a place on the final table for a chance of winning a
chunk of the $930,000 against the best in the world. Peter Jepsen
eventually finished 3rd, picking up earnings of $165,000.
The
highlight of Jepsen’s career came at the European Poker Tour’s Polish
Open in Warsaw in March 2007. Competing against 283 other entrants for
a share of the $1,357,799 pool in the z? 15,000 No Limit Hold'em event,
Peter Jepsen put up an impressive display to finish on top, leaving the
Hyatt Regency with prize money of $415,679.
In 2008, Peter
Jepsen made a trip downunder for the Aussie Millions Poker Championship
in Melbourne, where he participated in the A$10,000 No Limit Hold'em
Main Event. Jepsen finished 78th in a field of 780 entrants, picking up
$13,185 of the $6.8 million prize pool.
Peter is also well
known for breaking the world record in biggest pot won. He did that by
winning a pot of almost $500 000 against Tom "Durrrr" Dwan. Betfair Poker added Peter to their poker pro team on a long term contract February 17th 2009
