9 Everest Poker players have won their seats for this new European tournament and 8 are playing today.

Here is a quick presentation of all of them:

Cristiano Blanco (Lalanco1) is coming back on the land of his success. The media (the Italian ones) are expecting a lot of him. His eyes were shining when Thomas Kremser said the traditional “shuffle up and deal “. He publicly announced that we wanted to have a better result than last year when he finished in second place, for 380.000 euros.

Leroy Soesman is a lucky guy and he knows that. Winner of a big TV show in the Netherlands, he will attend his first EPT. But no big deal for him, he seems not to feel the pressure. This big guy has such a great smile that everybody who stays with him will have the same immediately. This is not very common at a poker table. We hope that he could keep it until the end.

Johannes Korsar, LooseJay is not an unknown poker player. Swedish, he just finished 5th in the last World Series of Poker Europe in London last September. Very relax before the tournament; he really wants to do something special here in Germany.

Patrice Roussel, maltor85, is attending his first major tournament but for him it’s more like a gift than anything else. He told us that he will still be here on Saturday. We all hope so!!!

Thibault Durand, popotib was more nervous than the other Everest Poker players but his recent results on our Website and in some poker clubs in Paris should help him to be more confident.

Sandro Simon, Itto, is our local hero. He’s from Bochum, only 20 km from the Dortmund Casino. He was a really good kart driver when he was younger. He just quit his job 2 months ago in order to live his dream of poker player. Very nice and very active, he told us that this is the beginning of a dream to be there.

Jordane Beraldin, jo.x, comes from Saint-Etienne, France. He seems to be a little bit shy but he’s not the same guy at all when his chips talk for him. He definitely wants to go to the second day, this is his primary objective.
