Danish poker players have been doing extremely well on the European Poker Tour lately, and yesterday the third straight win came when Jannick Wrang took home the EPT Campione main event (Italy). It was an extremely tough final table where Wrang had to defeat Olivier Busquet, the 2009 WPT Borgata winner, heads-up to reach the first prize of €640,000.
