Everest Poker Qualifier Nico Behling Storms Into Poland With 2nd Place Showing at EPT Warsaw
It's becoming a familiar feeling for German poker player Nico Behling. For the second year in a row, he dominated the European Poker Tour with a 2nd place finish at Warsaw.
Warsaw, Poland (PRWEB) November 22, 2008 -- Congratulations are in order today for Nico Behling, the 23-year-old Everest Poker qualifier from Germany, who has finished 2nd at the Pokerstars EPT in Warsaw. The youthful poker phenom beat out a commanding field of over 217 poker players who attended the coveted tournament this past week.
Behling takes more than $400,000 back to Germany, but the sizeable purse is nothing new for this poker pro. Behling also qualified for the EPT Barcelona two years ago -- again via Everest Poker.
Everest Poker players on the whole are tearing up the EPT circuit. Sponsored player Cristiano Blanco managed a 2nd place at an EPT event in Dortmund in 2007, which to date remains the best placing ever for an Italian player at an EPT event.
At EPT Warsaw, Italian Dario Minieri was blocked from matching Blanco's top finish by Behling. Minieri finished 3rd.
Speaking to Everest Poker's Olaf Schimpf, who was with the German throughout the tournament, Behling commented, "If someone would have told me before the tournament that I would finish 2nd, I would have signed up for that immediately -- now, of course, I am a little disappointed that the trophy was so close!"
In a message to other Everest Poker players, he said: "You have to work on your game, study the theoretical part of poker in the beginning and always believe in yourself…and don't let short term luck or bad beats disturb you!"
