Professional footballer Max Cruse proves he can score not only on green fields of football stadiums, but also at green poker felts as he wins €1,650 NL Hold’em Six-Max event at World Series of Poker Europe for his first ever WSOP bracelet and €134,152 prize!
"I’m overwhelmed. It’s the greatest feeling to have finally won a WSOP bracelet. I’ve wanted to win for 10 years and, of course, it makes me proud," said the newly-crowned champion.
German who is playing for VfL Wolfsburg in Bundesliga is no stranger to poker tables as he has been playing poker for quite a while now and has attended several WSOP in Vegas. His first cash dates back in 2014 when he ended up 3rd at $1,500 NL 27 Draw Lowball event for $36,494. Since then, he finished in the money 19 times, including yesterday’s event. In addition to that, lots of his results are from mixed events like PL Omaha, Razz, HORSE, Mixed Triple Draw, and more, which is very impressive for someone who takes poker only as a hobby.
Bueno, al menos hasta ahora. Kruse, quien también tiene 14 partidos con la selección alemana, actualmente está lesionado, por lo que tiene más tiempo para el póquer, lo que será útil ya que con su primer oro en la WSOP también obtiene un asiento para el Evento Principal de la WSOP Europa 2022, que comienza el 11 de noviembre. y se extiende hasta el 16 de noviembre.
"Solo puedo jugar como pasatiempo en este momento debido a mi carrera (futbolística), pero veremos después de mi carrera si sigo jugando al póquer". Pero en este momento, su objetivo es profundizar en el Evento Principal para su vigésimo premio en efectivo de la WSOP y definitivamente seguiremos sus futuras aventuras en el póquer.
