Seat 6: Theo Jorgensen, 41, Greve, Denmark - Team PokerStars Pro – 1,550,000
Team PokerStars Pro Jorgensen has become a regular feature on the European Poker Tour and is one of the most popular players. The Dane has yet to win an EPT title, but doing so would earn him poker’s Triple Crown – he has already won a WSOP Europe event and WPT Paris (a tournament he nearly won a second time in 2012 when he finished second).
Jorgensen’s appearance at EPT London marks his comeback to the poker world following a horrific experience when he was shot in the leg by intruders at his home in December. Having received successful treatment, Jorgensen has made an immediate return to form, and despite holding one of the shorter stacks, must remain one of the favourites.
EPT London will be his third final table on the tour, following EPT Deauville in Season 2 and Copenhagen in Season 4. His lifetime live tournament winnings already total more than $3.2 million and he is ranked third in the Danish All Time Money List.
