A consistent performer on the tournament stage for more than a decade, this sit ‘n’ go expert is one of the most respected poker figures in the card-crazy country of Sweden. Not only is this 31-year-old an accomplished player, he is firmly entrenched in the Swedish poker business. He runs two major poker websites, including the country’s second most popular forum.
The Stockholm native has also achieved some excellent tournament results including cashes in the 2005 (372nd) and 2007 (155th) WSOP main events. He made the final table of the 2005 Swedish Open Poker Championships (second) and the 2005 Scandinavian Poker Championships (fourth), and finished 18th in the $25,000 buy-in WPT Championship at the Bellagio (during a period when he was based in Las Vegas). He was among the chip leaders in the first hour and held his nerve to earn a much-deserved slot at the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event final table.

Sydney’s Star City will host the first PokerStars.net APPT Grand Final in just over a fortnight. This emerging young pro will be on home turf, and will be among the favorites after a stellar 18 months on the Australasian tournament trail.
Eric burst onto the scene in 2006, winning the Melbourne Championships main event (worth $A80,000), then showed that his win was no fluke when he captured two titles at the 2007 New Zealand Championships at the Christchurch Casino, including the main event title, winning a first place prize of $A100,000 and a seat in the 2007 WSOP main event. He also final tabled twice at the recent PokerNews Cup in Melbourne (eighth in Australia’s first H.O.R.S.E. tournament and fourth in the $ 200 No Limit Hold'em event).
The 28-year-old steadily worked his way through the field of the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event to be among the chip leaders when it mattered most.
It’s only fitting that the $15,000 APPT Macau High Roller Event has a local representative at the final table, and that man is Tony Ng. A 20-year veteran of the game, he lived for a time in California where he played semi-professionally (mainly at the Bay 101 Casino in San Jose, also the home casino of Scott Numoto).
Now back living in Hong Kong, the father of five prefers cash games but could not resist the lure of the ferry trip from his home to the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino in Macau to try his luck in the first PokerStars.net APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open. Despite limited tournament experience (he won a $1000 buy-in No Limit Hold’em event at the LA Poker Classic way back in 1992), he is assured home town support at the televised final table.
