Final Table Bios - Johnny Lodden

Seat 7: Johnny Lodden, 23, Norway – PokerStars sponsored player - 500,000 chips

Norwegian poker star Johnny Lodden has cashed at six EPTs but this is his first final table – and the first time he has been sponsored by PokerStars. Johnny, who came 11th at the World Series Europe main event last month for £54,300, started his poker life playing high-stakes cash games online. In fact, he was so feared by most people that few players were willing to take him on at the highest levels. His great friend Team PokerStars Pro Wlliam Thorson said: "I’ve known Johnny for many years and always known he’s a great player. But a lot of people who are great online don’t necessarily cut it in live tournaments. Johnny has worked hard though and I always knew he would be a great live tournament player as well."

Seat 8: Zoltan Toth, 41, Hodmezovasarhely, Hungary – 1,059,000 chips

The local hero at the EPT Budapest main event, Zoltan Toth has showed real character during the last few days. He advances to the final table with a slight chip lead, with over 1,000,000 chips. This is his greatest poker achievement to date, although he’s a tournament-only poker player usually at his local casino. After graduating from high-school, Zoltan started up his own businesses and now owns a pub and clothes-import company. When asked about his hobbies and poker life, he merely replied: "During the summer I go fishing, winter time I play poker."
