Andreas Kniep Unknown Player?

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Andreas Kniep has returned to the World Series of Poker with his sights set on capturing a long-awaited bracelet. With over $1 million in career earnings, Kniep has built an impressive poker résumé, but one of his most memorable runs came in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker No-Limit Hold’em at the 2023 WSOP, where he dominated much of the tournament before finishing in fourth place—just shy of bracelet glory.

The dynamic German player won’t be sticking around for the full series this year but is locked in for two marquee events: the Millionaire Maker and the Main Event. Despite praising the newly updated WSOP+ app, Kniep encountered a frustrating hiccup when the system failed to recognize him, effectively erasing his tournament history. Still, that anonymity might just work in his favor when he next reaches a final table.

Stay tuned for more updates on Kniep as he chases redemption and a gold bracelet in Las Vegas
