Norwegians Doing Well in EPT Championship

The European Poker Tour is wrapping up with their Grand Final in Monte Carlo, and odds are looking up for the Norwegians to finish in the top spots. The chip leader, Oyvind Riisem, knows what it is like to do well in a major European poker event, having taken fourth in the first ever World Series of Poker Europe event last year. Johnny Lodden, Borge Dypvik and Andreas Hagen are the other players in the top spots, and all of them hail from Norway. Joe Hachem, the 2005 WSOP champion, is hanging tight in fifth position.
