Mads Åmot is a 27 year-old pro from Norway who learned poker just a few short years ago with home game SNG’s for 100 NOK. He took to the game naturally and his meteoric rise saw him chop the 2010 FTOPS Main Event for $805,000 and also win the Norwegian live Heads-Up Championship that year. Mads spends a lot of time playing online cash games but has set his sights on more live titles.
Michael Schurpf of Switzerland is known as “Swisstard” online. With a first place finish in Ipoker’s $200,000 Guarantee and taking down a $100 rebuy tourney on PokerStars and major win on 888.com in the SAME night, “Swisstard” became a legend.
