Mickey Krause is a Danish professional pool player nicknamed The Viking. Originally based in Herlev, he moved to the United States after competing in the World Championship and reaching the semi-finals of the U.S. Open Eight-Ball Pool Championship in 2023, where he defeated Fedor Gorst during the tournament. In 2024 he won the Bucharest Open, his first ranking title on the World Nineball Tour, and then took the European Open in Fulda, Germany, beating Skyler Woodward in the semi-final and Johann Chua in the final. That result secured his place on the European team for the inaugural Reyes Cup, and he later played in the European win over Team USA at the 2024 Mosconi Cup as the only rookie in the competition. He added the 2025 Scottish Open nine-ball title, defeating Aloysius Yapp in the final.
