Top 20 Finalists: Ronny Pickard (Spadesman)

German finalist Ronny Pickard (spadesman) spends his days working in a bank and, when he's not playing poker, he also plays midfield on a local football team and analyzes potential patterns in stock market activity. "I'm a real worker", he says and he clearly brings that dedication to his poker, qualifying via the LTD Summit Point Leaderboard.

Ronny first learned poker when he was just 15, playing five-card stud with friends. He is another player who has been with Everest Poker since the beginning, starting on the No Limit Hold'em tables in 2004."Everest was my first room; sometimes the first love stays, so to speak. Everest gives me everything I need. Tournaments, cash games, good stuff." Ronny has blogged about many of his some of his tounament results on his blog.

Spademan's dream is to finally play the WSOP Main Event. He missed it in 2009 due to a last-minute conflict, but this year he's definitely not going out on his shot at glory at the world's premier poker event in Las Vegas.
