PokerNews CUP Austria 2008

Businessman Johnathan Tuckman has been enjoying the game of poker for over 48 years. No stranger to card and board games, poker was just something he picked up naturally. “I’ve been playing chess, backgammon, bridge and all sorts of card games since I was a kid… poker was just one of the games that I play.” Now the Australian plays poker both live and online with a preference for ring games over tournaments. He admits his favourite variations of poker include No Limit Texas Holdem and Pot Limit Omaha. Johnathan has reaped considerable success in poker including finishing fifth in Event 4 of the 2007 PokerNews Cup Melbourne and raking in a steady flow of winnings each week. On his €1,500 PokerNews Cup Austria Package win? “Loved it.” He proceeded to celebrate with a “big shout.” Away from the felt, Johnathan likes being outdoors indulging in his favourite sport of snow skiing and considers himself to be “just a happy-go-lucky type of person.” Congratulations to Johnathan for making it to Team PokerNews. We look forward to watching Johnathan and the rest of the Team at the 2008 PokerNews Cup in Salzburg, Austria.
