Player Profile: Darus Suharto

Darus Suharto
Darus Suharto
An accountant by day, 39-year-old Darus Suharto has been playing poker seriously for about three years. No stranger to the pressure of "the big one," Suharto finished in 448th in the 2006 Main Event and pocketed a cool $26,389.

One of multiple PokerStars online qualifiers, Suharto found himself in the Main Event through a $650 satellite. From Toronto, Canada, the self-proclaimed amateur desribes poker as his #1 hobby.

With an MBA to his credit, Suharto does more than just crush the occasional poker game. He enjoys traveling as well as watching baseball, basketball, and hockey.

For reason's unknown, he opted not to divulge what he'd do with the money should he win the Main Event, although he did describe his cash in 2006 to be his proudest poker accomplishment because he was "a donkey at that time."
