Tim Vance
Tim Vance
Today is the day that a new EPT Copenhagen champion will be crowned. At the moment, American online qualifier Tim Vance is in pole position with nearly double the chips of Denmark's Rasmus Nielsen. If numbers are the key then a Danish player is most likely to win - 4 of today's finalists are from the host country. Nicolas Dervaux is aiming to be the 3rd French EPT winner this season while Patrick Andersson is the only Swede left in the tournament. Daniel Ryan is another American online qualifier who has a good online pedigree, winning 15-20 seats to the PCA earlier in the season!

One of the players is going to walk away with the $ 1,236,095 first prize. We will bring you all the action as it happens. Play is due to start at 2 p.m. local time (GMT+1). The chip counts and seating positions for today's final table are:
