He took up poker early that year and by the end of it was playing full time. To date Petersen��s biggest result came in a side event at the Irish Open in 2007 where he finished fourth and while he has cashed in WSOP events since 2006, EPT Copenhagen will be his biggest career cash.
Petersen was close to elimination on day one, dropping to 9,000 before doubling up with aces just before the dinner break. He went on to finish the day in strong position and has played solidly since, his fortunes helped greatly on day four when his straight beat the flopped set of Peter Eastgate.
