Name: Tobias Revenäs

Age: 35

Nationality: Swedish

The GSOP Live Series has been an instant hit in Scandinavia, so it should not be huge surprise, that our next introduced qualifier comes Sweden. Tobias has known poker since his childhood days and started playing more Hold´Em about three years ago; “Since then my skills have gradually improved and I play a lot online. I have qualified to few Live Events thru satellites but so far without big success in the events. No I look forward to playing GSOP Live Bucharest and will give my best performance there”

Follow our blogs in February and see if Tobias hits his first big live score!

Nationality: Moldavian

Player presentation in English:
I have been playing poker for three and a half years; originally my friend introduced me to this game. I started form the very lowest limits in SNG tournaments for 0.1$. Since March I have been playing at RedKings Poker, which became my main poker-room. Now I am playing 22$-108$ SNG 5 max turbos and studying HU SNGs and MTTs.

My first offline poker experience I got last summer taking part in several RPT Odessa events. I got into the money in the 6max tournament which is my favorite one. I am going to get seriously prepared for the coming GSOP Live event in Bucharest and hope to show a decent game there.

Player presentation in Russian:
В покер я играю три с половиной года, мой друг познакомил меня с этой игрой. Начинал играть снг турниры на самых низких лимитах 0.1$. С марта месяца прошлого года играю на RedKings Poker, он стал моим основным покер-румом. Сейчас играю sng 5 max turbo 22$-108$ и изучаю HU sng и MTT. В оффлайне первый раз познакомился с покером прошедшим летом, сыграв серию турниров RPT Odessa. В призы попал в турнире 6 max, который мне ближе всего. Буду очень серьезно готовиться к турниру GSOP Live в Бухаресте и надеюсь, что покажу достойную игру.

Koen is already a familiar face to those of you who were following our Live Reporting from GSOP Live Riga in October, but here´s a quick recap on his poker career to the ones who have just recently joined us:

“My name is Koen, from The Netherlands. I started playing poker 5 years ago and my main game started at 50 nl full ring. After that I played a full year online tournaments only. Currently I play mostly heads up 200 nl and occasionally higher, up to 1k nl. Live tournaments I play a few times a year with a few in the money finishes like in GSOP Live Riga 12th place. Of course I aim to do better in Bucharest and improve my best live score finishing 4th in a deep stack tournament.”

Name: Balan Vasilica
Nationality: Romanian
Age: 27

Major Live Events in Romania are few and far between, so it´s only natural that a lot of local players will take part in this event. The first Romanian Team RedKings player we introduce is Vasilica Balan -  In his own words:

“My name is Balan Vasilica. I am from Romania and I am 27 years old.  I started playing poker around 4 years ago, at first it was some kind of a distraction for me but later I discovered that poker is more than just a passion. I play daily to improve my game and to reach the highest level.”

Good Luck!

Mikhail is really enjoying the tournament is doing very well. He told us he has been bluffing A LOT and showing his cards after the bluffs. “The whole table hates me!” he laughed.

Unfortunately first Team RedKings player is out, so we can now win only the TOP-34 prizes.

Vitalii Evkodimov first lost against a higher pocket pair and then quite shortly after he was eliminated after “making a very very stupid mistake I don´t want to talk about”.

The slow structure leaves a lot of room to play, but most players seem to be still feeling out their opponents and we haven´t witnessed any huge action.

With no big stories, here´s some pictures:
