Jensen Takes a Bite Out of Vance
Søren Jensen caught people’s attention early on in Copenhagen with an amazing emotional outburst after taking down a huge pot on Day 2. Shouting “Come on Jutland” and “Come on the Whites” after his local football team, Søren headed out into the corridor, striding up and down and punching the air with his fist. He said: “If I win a big pot, I have to Søren walk away from the table and calm down. I’m very emotional. It’s my personality.” Today Soren, who manages a car painting business in Arhus, says he’s focused and “100% sure” he’ll win. He’s been playing poker for seven years after switching from whist, and now plays high-stakes 10/20 and 20/40 NLHE cash games. He bought in to Copenhagen just one minute before registration closed. Søren cashed at the 2006 WSOP, but today’s guaranteed win of at least €76,000 will be his best result to date. He said: “I work, so I don’t really have much time for tournaments and this is my first EPT. But I’m very competitive. I’m one of four brothers and we grew up always competing against each other. I’m born to be a winner.” Søren is supported today by younger brother Lars and girlfriend Bettina.
