Local hero Mickey ‘mement_mori’ Petersen is one of the most successful online poker tournament players Denmark has ever produced. It’s a game he discovered while playing Magic: The Gathering, and one he started to master while taking a year off from his studies. Petersen began making so much money online at PokerStars that he decided to ditch going to University in favour of turning pro. He also started qualifying for live PokerStars events around the world and he’s a regular on the European Poker Tour.
Most of his biggest online results have been scored in PokerStars’ SCOOP events, including runner-up in a $2,100 No Limit Hold’em event in 2010 for $169,286. Mickey has also cashed in several other SCOOP events, all of which have helped him become one of the highest earners in the history of the series, with more than $500,000 in winnings. He’s also won big in other PokerStars online tourneys, including third place in the Sunday Warm-Up helping him top several online Player of the Year and Leader Board rankings.
Winning an EPT title is high on Petersen’s list of career goals. He’s only cashed in one Main Event before – EPT Barcelona this season – but has ten cashes in EPT side events including fourth at the EPT Grand Final €5,000 event in Season 6 for €73,400. He currently lives in London.
