Schneiders Takes His Seat
Level 3
: 100/200, 25 ante
PokerStars Team Online member, Felix Schneiders, has taken his seat at the table where Francesco Fama doubled up earlier to jump into the chip lead.
Schneiders had said earlier: "I'm excited to see the first PokerStars Festival ever held in Germany. And I'm expecting this event will attract many players. I'm especially hyped to have a chance to meet up with members of the German poker community. It's not often that I get to play live poker in the country I have grown up, so I'm really looking forward to playing in the €500,000 guaranteed Main Event."
He has someone following him with a camera so it looks like he will be posting a video of his experience here in Hamburg on his Youtube channel.
