Who made the final table?
Emil Olsson (2,208,000 chips) - Swedish Emil Olsson is the chip leader heading into the final table. Olsson has earned over $38,000 in live events. His biggest cash before this final table was for about $28,000 at the Malmo Open in Sweden.
Stanislav Barshak (1,597,000 chips) - American Stansilav Barshak may not be well-known to poker fans, but he has some impressive tournament results. He's earned over $280,000 in live events, including a WSOP Circuit ring from a 6-max event and an 11th place finish in the $10,000 buy-in Six Handed event at this year's World Series. Considering those results, he should be very comfortable playing at this 6-handed final table.
Robin Ylitalo (934,000 chips) - Another Swede, Robin Ylitalo, sits in 3rd place. He has over $159,000 in lifetime earnings, and this is his second major final table - he finished in 8th place at the EPT Campione earlier this year.
Jan Djerberg (824,000 chips) - A native of Denmark, Jan Djerberg has collected $119,000 in earnings playing primarily smaller tournaments within Denmark.
Philip Jacobsen (650,000 chips) - The other Danish player at this final table is Philip Jacobsen, who has accrued nearly $250,000 in his live tournament career. His biggest individual cash came in a 10th-place finish at the EPT Deauville, and this is his first major final table.
Morten Klein (568,000 chips) - Morten Klein is a Norweigan player who seems to run good in Copenhagen. The bulk of his lifetime earnings came from a 3rd place finish at the 2010 EPT Copenhagen, and because of that event he enters the final table with the largest lifetime earnings total - $341,000.
The final table will begin at 12:00 CET, and you can follow it either via the WPT's live updates or by watching the live stream with Jesse May commentating.
