Which of the Danish players would you pick?

I was debating the last 3 names on my list. So many strong Danish players to chose from. While my list may look like a bunch of oldtimers to some, I know that they can all still play a little.

Eg. Brian Elgaard who many probably don't know since he's now playing poker for a living in stead of gammon. Last year he participated in a Club tournament, round robin format, matches to 7. All matches were recorded. Coming out of hibernation, he averaged 1,8 over 10 7-pointers. Ask Svobo what he thinks of Brian Elgaard.

Mads Andersen is also an oldtimer but he still plays in the Danish Elite League frequently. And he wins most of his matches. Last year he had a couple of matches recorded (17 pointers in the Danish leagues). The worst he did was 2,7. So he's still playing very well.

Karsten Nielsen has pretty much retired from tournament gammon. I play him from time to time online and know from these matches that he almost always plays a 2. He will take on anybody in moneygame sessions (a bit like Gus in this respect).

Many of the strong Danes don't bother to play the international events and are therefore unknowns outside of Denmark. If you think that what you see at the WSOB events constitute the entire elite of Danish BG, you couldn't be more wrong.

But feel free to enlighten me as to which Danes I have left out of my list.
