Similar to Team Canada, Team Germany is filled with young and talented players. The team is led by arguably the most talented tournament poker player alive right now, Ole Schemion. This kid just seems to win everything under the sun, and it only seems fitting that he would lead the charge that will bring GPM gold to his home country.

Then you've got Marvin Rettenmaier and Philipp Gruissem, again two highly-talented poker players. George Danzer is also very skilled, but his strength lies with his ability to play mixed games. No-limit hold'em really isn't Danzer's forte, but what Danzer may lack in pure talent in the game he'll make up for with on-the-felt toughness and a willingness to never want to give up. Last year, when Danzer was fighting with Brandon Shack-Harris for World Series of Poker Player of the Year honors, he fought very hard in all no-limit hold'em events he played, and we expect much more of the same from him at the GPM.

You might be wondering who Christopher Frank is. Well, he's the team's unknown commodity, but the kid can play. Like Schemion, he's super young and highly talented, and will bring to the table a résumé that includes a European Poker Tour London final table and a World Poker Tour National title. With Frank likely being an unknown player to the rest of the field, we like him to really surprise people and help bolster Germany's tough roster of players.
