If you want to travel to Denmark and play in the EPT Scandinavian Open, then qualify online for the EPT through Bodog Poker's Flight Club promotion and play for a chance to take a trip to Copenhagen. The fight takes place on the final day of the EPT event, so you may even get to see this in person. If you do you will have used a a little Flight Club qualifier to see a little "Fight Club" action.
