The only life that Erlend Melsom understands is the poker life. The 23-year old Norwegian, who won his seat to Tallinn via PokerStars’ Steps satellites, has been playing poker ever since he left school. He has been playing live, on and off, since he began his career but this will be his only significant live cash to date and he hasn’t played an EPT for over two years. Melsom plays most of his poker online – screen name"Sir_Winalot9" – taking part in both NLHE and PLO tournaments. One of Melsom's biggest achievements to date was snagging a SCOOP bracelet in the high-stakes version of event #11 ($2,100 PLO Heads-Up) last May. Overall, he has won over $1 million playing online and the vast majority of that cash has come from playing on PokerStars.
