The 2011 PokerStars European Poker Tour Copenhagen NLHE main event reached a conclusion and the champion is Swedish professional Michael Tureniec. He took home €496,271 and his first EPT title. His career earnings now stand at $3,422,518. Tureniec came very close to grabbing an EPT title once before, when he took second place at EPT London in 2008.

The next European Poker Tour event is the Snowfest stop in the Austrian Alps. That tournament will run from March 20-25.

Tureniec won the hand and the EPT title along with €496,271. Linde was rewarded with the runner-up prize worth €328,612.
