Kalmar is a 33-year-old from England who is married with one kid. He's a professional poker player who had a stint as the lead singer in a punk band. He listed "drinking" as a hobby and his railbirds were definitely partaking in his favorite hobby over the last couple of days. His contingency is definitely a rowdy bunch.
He learned poker by playing online, which he started to do to curtail his other gambling (sports and casino). He's been playing for four years and this is his third WSOP. He flew to Vegas to play several preliminary events. He didn't cash in any of them and had blown through his bankroll. Due to his catastrophic loses he was ready to give up poker for good. He tried to book an earlier flight back home. The cost to England was too high so he decided to stick around and play the last mega-satellite at the Rio. He won his seat to the main event at the last minute. Not only did he cash, he made the final table and is trying to return to England a millionaire.
When asked about the one thing he wanted the audience to know about him, he wrote, "I'm not really a Britney fan."
Kalmar has a sense of humor and is second in chips.
