Olof Haglund has been playing online poker full time since 2006 when he resigned from his job as a paperboy. He specializes in online mid-stakes heads-up cash games and seldom plays anything else. Poker takes up most of his time but he also tries to find time to travel and play golf. Haglund doesn't hang out much with the Swedish poker fraternity but instead travels with a small group of friends from the UK and Finland.
Haglund hasn't played many live events but likes to take part in major stops from time to time, including EPTs and the World Series of Poker. This is his first EPT main event cash, but he won an EPT side event in 2011, taking down the €3,000 NL event (against a FOUR-strong field). That €11,400 prize was his biggest live cash before this week at EPT London.
