Top professional Theo doesn\u2019t mind fights in the ring with Gus Hansen but is scared of heights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">A spokesman for <a title=\"partypoker\" href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/\">partypoker<\/a> said: \u201cTheo is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet on the poker circuit but we are disappointed that he has decided he is up for fights and not heights. Theo famously beat Gus Hansen in the much hyped boxing match and got a reputation as a hardman. Maybe Gus should challenge him to a boxing match 50 metres up next time around? Gus would win that as he would have a no show on his hands! In Italy they call a poker \u2018fish\u2019 a chicken but we\u2019d never dare call Theo one of those!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">The poker players, sadly without Mr Theo Jorgensen, will be hoisted 50 metres in the air by a crane at City Hall Square in Copenhagen. Hovering over the capital the poker players will compete against each other in a four hour long poker tournament. See <span style=\"color: black\">http:\/\/da.partypoker.com\/news\/items\/poker_in_the_sky.html<\/span> for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">The players will not only have a great view of Copenhagen, the winner of the game will scoop a package for the partypoker World Open V in London in October. The line-up at this prestigious event includes \u2018Ambassador of Poker\u2019 Mike Sexton and Tom \u2018Durrrr\u2019 Dwan. The Danish winner of the partypoker Poker in the Sky wins flights, hotel and a $10,000 buy-in for the tournament in London, which will be broadcast on television worldwide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">By a strange twist of fate, the winner of Sunday\u2019s partypoker Monthly Million was also from Denmark. Whether Fedling6 likes heights as much as BA Barcaus from \u2018The A Team\u2019 likes flying is unclear. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">partypoker Monthly Million \u2013 Sunday 6 September 2009 \u2013 1,687 runners, 200 places paid \u2013 total prize pool $1,000,000<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">1<sup>st<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fedling6 (DEN) $147,000<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">2<sup>nd<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Nice_Steady (NETH) $119,000<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 thesheik2222 (GER) $113,000<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">4<sup>th<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 xprimex (UK) $54,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 pintarnih (AUSTRALIA) $46,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pokercinni (GER) $34,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 g_laden (GER) $26,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">8<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 sexyprez (CAN) $17,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">9<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Uppstyrd (SWE) $13,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 homerus45 (NETH) $9,500<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align: justify\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 9pt;color: black;font-family: Verdana\">World Series of Poker\u201d\u00ae and \u201cWSOP\u201d\u00ae, WSOPE\u201d\u00ae are registered trade marks of Harrah\u2019s License Company LLC.
