TO DENMARK. Land of Schmeichels, bacon, nil points and pastries.

And you can visit - unless you are already there, in which case you get to stay at home.

This is your chance to qualify on Betfair Poker for February's EPT Copenhagen. Three packages must be won in a one-off $33,000 February final, and with daily satellites from just $16.50, everyone can have a shot at EPT glory.

Fancy it?

With armies of aggressive Scandinavians (that is aggressive in poker, not aggressive as in knuckle-dusters and pepper spray) descending on the Danish capital between February 19th and the 23rd, this is one of the toughest fields you'll see all year.
