Torkel Holmen, a student from Norway has been playing both online and live poker for close to 12 years. He prefers the action in multi-table No Limit Texas Holdem tournaments but ends up playing both cash games and tournaments evenly. Qualifying for the World Series Main Event is the Norwegian’s biggest poker victory so far and he celebrated his win with a large, cold beer. Torkel also enjoys skiing and nature in general. This will be Torkel’s first appearance at the World Series Main Event and we here at Team PokerNews wish him the best of luck.
