Dag Martin Mikkelsen - End of Day 4 chipleader
Dag Martin Mikkelsen ended Day 4 of the WSOP as the chipleader. He's not well-known in America, but if you play online, you might have come across "dmmikkel." He frequently can be found playing cash games or SNGs on PokerStars. Mikkelsen doesn't have too much live experience since he's just 21 years old. He has played a few events on the EPT, but this is the first year he's playing in the WSOP.

Originally from Stavanger, Norway, he started out as an online sports bettor gambling on soccer matches. One site that he wagered on offered micro-limit poker and that's where Dag Martin Mikkelsen got his start. He switched sites and quickly jumped up in levels. He's been playing $500 and $1,000 SNGs. He's also made two final tables at the PokerStars Sunday Million.

In a previous interview, Mikkelsen said his favorite player was Phil Ivey. When asked about five words to describe himself, he mentioned... arrogant, aggressive, calm, confident, and paranoid.
