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."
