Seat 3: Aage Ravn - 1,690,000
It might not be that warm in the Bahamas right now but in Norway, it's far colder; another good reason for Ravn to be here at the PCA and not back home in Narvik.
The 24-year-old IT consultant won his trip to the Bahamas in a $100 rebuy satellite on PokerStars and immediately set about selling a percentage of any winnings by posting up appeals on a Norwegian poker forum. He managed to sell 20% of himself over the Christmas holidays, including 2% to Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden who told him: "You had better make it count!" Now guaranteed to win at least $201,300, Ravn has certainly done that.
This is only his second major tournament. The first he played was a side event at EPT4 Copenhagen which he won for $40,000.
