Dag is used to the limelight after a career as child actor on Slovakia TV. Later, he presented his own TV music chart show. He studied law in Vienna, French in Belgium and also an MBA in Prague. He stopped studying after he started work at a Bratislava advertising agency. He first played poker when he was 22 – just one evening of five-card draw which he won. After another nine years, he played again in a coffee shop home game – and was hooked from then on. EPT Prague is his biggest win to date. Dag’s fiancée, Zuzana, is busy modelling this week in Spain so can’t be here to cheer him on – but the couple plan to marry soon and start a family.
