Tobias Wagner

Although he is a hardworking university student majoring in English and Physical Education, a lover of Shakespeare, and the leading three-point shooter in his basketball league, Tobias spends the majority of his time playing online poker.

Everyday, Tobias can be found playing Everest cash games, particularly the NLHE $1000 (6-max and full ring), and is a frequent player of the $10,000 Guaranteed tournaments -- the latter of which he has won several times and frequently makes the final table. Although he describes himself as primarily a cash game player, Tobias schedules seven tournaments a week and usually plays an average of 10 tables online every time he logs on.

Tobias began his poker career online with Everest just two years ago, grinding away at the lowest cash game levels, eventually graduating to higher-stakes ring games and the top of the VIP Summit Club.

"I started playing on Everest and I've never stopped," the Nuremberg resident says. "I have always loved the community, the staff, and the events I've been able to participate in. Even before Live the Dream, Everest had already changed my life in many aspects".

Tobias' is a two-time SPT qualifier and is very popular within both the German and VIP Summit Club communities. He was also a member of the winning 2009 6inVegas team, where Everest sent one winner to the tournament and five of their poker-playing friends to cheer them on. He used this trip to take his game to some of the Vegas' legendary cash tables at the Venetian and Bellagio.

Tobias wanted to Live his Dream at Everest Poker so he could travel to even more of the world's biggest cash games, as well as devote serious attention to developing his live event skills.

"I have won a lot of cash games in Vegas, but I want more. And I want more great live poker tournament accomplishments. Live the Dream can help make this happen and it is why this contract means everything to me."
