He has eight online poker Triple Crownsto his credit, the third most among members of PocketFives. He was once ranked as high as #2 worldwide and has an outstanding $4.6 million in tracked cashes in online poker MTTs. So what do you give a guy who has everything? How about a victory in the Main Event of the PokerStars European Poker Tour’s stop in Copenhagen? That’s exactly what happened to Mickey mementmori Petersen (pictured) over the weekend.

A rail thread in the Live Poker forumpicked up on Petersen’s deep run when four players were still standing in the event, which doled out a first place prize of €338,000. Text found on PokerNews’ live coverage painted a picture of the setting: “You could not have written a more intriguing script, as the cherubic PokerStars Team Online player, Mickey ‘mement_mori’ Petersen, was pitched into war against the more mature Team PokerStars Pro Pierre ‘Zoutechamp’ Neuville.”

The comments on PocketFives largely rooted on Petersen, who hails from Denmark and joined PokerStars last September. One poster wrote, “One of the online guys that should/will crush live. His game fits perfectly.” Another member of the online poker community echoed, “One of the sickest multi-tablers ever.”

Bjarke Hansen was the tournament’s third place finisher after coming out on the short end of a cooler with pocket jacks against Petersen’s pocket queens. Petersen flopped a queen for good measure and never looked back. He entered heads-up play against Neuville deadlocked in chips and, needless to say, it was anyone’s game.

After Petersen shot down any discussion of a heads-up chop of the EPT Copenhagen Main Event’s prize pool, his opponent opened a lead. At one point, Neuville (pictured) held nearly a 3:1 edge, but Petersen clawed back to build a 5:2 chip lead. Then, Neuville moved all-in on a board showing 7-6-5-9-K and tabled 9-8 for a straight once Petersen called. Petersen mucked his cards and the chip counts were once again even as heads-up play plodded on.

Petersen responded by building a 7:2 chip lead, but Neuville doubled up with Q-10 against J-10 after the money went in pre-flop. Neuville out-flopped Petersen after the first three cards came K-Q-3, and Petersen’s open-ender never hit. Neuville would then double up once more, this time with Q-10 against A-J, to close the gap ever so slightly.

Neuville doubled up a third straight time before meeting his demise. In the final hand of the Danish poker tournament, he ran A-4 into A-5 to seal his fate and walked away with €215,000. After Petersen’s win, one Swiss PocketFives member congratulated EPT Copenhagen’s newest champ: “Very well deserved. One for the good guys imo.”

Petersen posted on Twitter, “Won the EPT after a grueling, long heads-up match. Thanks for the support everyone, so overwhelming and it means the world to me. So happy now!”

Petersen debuted in the top 100 of the PocketFives Poker Rankingsthree years ago and reached #2 in October 2010. He can currently be found at #129 worldwide and is only $400,000 away from becoming just the eighth PocketFiver ever to score a $5 million cash badge. In May 2010, Petersen finished second in a PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) $2,100 No Limit Hold’em tournament for $161,000, which remains his largest tracked online score to date.

Last May, he finished third in a separate PokerStars SCOOP tournament for $75,000 and final tabled another event eight days later for $45,000. In between, he found time to take sixth in a $1,000 Rebuy during the same SCOOP series for $31,000. That was a pretty productive week, to say the least.

According to the Hendon Mob, EPT Copenhagen marked Petersen’s first six-figure live score. Up until two days ago, his largest live cash had been a $97,000 haul for finishing fourth in a preliminary event during the 2010 EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final.

He’s in good company in Denmark, whose poker crop includes former World Series of Poker Main Event champion Peter Eastgate, Gus Hansen, and Theo Jorgensen, the latter two of whom boxed back in 2009 during EPT Copenhagen. On PocketFives, Denmark sits at #11 in our Country Poker Rankings and Petersen has claimed eight of the nation’s 11 Triple Crowns. His most recent one came in January 2011.
