By a lot of accounts, Norway is a great place to live. It has a hugely successful welfare system, it was rated the most peaceful country in the world by Global Peace Index and it seems to produce a disproportionally high number of top class poker pros: at the final of the EPT goes into Day 3, the railbirds at Monte Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort are looking at a Norwegian 1-2-3-4.
123 players survived Day 2 but in the mini-league of players from the ‘land of the midnight sun’, the man with the most daylight between him and his rivals is Oyvind Riisem, who has amassed 441,400.
Among the relatively chip-starved is tubby ex-footballer Tomas Brolin, with 62,600, but one with a better diet is recent Irish Poker Open winner, Neil Channing. The Englishman is said to have forked out £500 and backed himself at 100-1 to win that event. With 99,500 chips, roughly 30k more than the average stack, and lying in 57th place, he can still accumulate enough to win the €2,020,000. Keep posted to see if he proves to be a one trick pony.
