By freakin’ far, Erik Sagstrom is one of those players that I never, ever would think would be almost a millionaire.  This Swedish man is definitely one of the best poker players in the world and he started his career when he was just the tender age of 18!  That alone boggles my mind!  Imagine, playing when you are that young and beating out all of the people that have been playing for such a long time.  Incredible!

Erik started out with just cash games and some tournaments and then he came to the realization that he was really, really good with cards and he actually quit high school and pursued a career in poker.  He now knows how to manager a powerful poker room all by himself and while he is definitely not as aggressive as a lot of people’s he is certainly making a name for himself.

He has only been playing online poker for about 10 years now, since 1999, but he is definitely still rakin’ in the dough and that is incredible!

You might get called with nine high, obviously making two pair…

Final table of a $100 SnG. Bleh. Luckily I had him covered, but as you can see not by much.
