PokerStars.com EPT Vilamoura Final Table Player Profiles
Seat 1: Teddy Sheringham, 44, UK, Friend of PokerStars – 1,783,000 Teddy Sheringham is an
England soccer legend who scored over 350 goals in a 23-year career that included spells at
Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur. His achievements in the game
include winning the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League. He also played for England
51 times, scored 11 goals and was part two World Cup squads. Since turning to poker in recent
years, he has some impressive results including his biggest cash – 14th place in last year’s WSOP-E
Main Event for £40,481. That result was followed a few weeks later with 49th place at EPT London
for £ 11,600 and he came 103rd at the EPT Grand Final last season for €20,000. Teddy started Day 4
having already played six holes of golf in the EPT Vilamoura Fairways & Felts Challenge alongside
Daniel Negreanu and Marcin Horecki.
Seat 2: Toby Lewis, 20, UK, PokerStars player – 3,322,000 PokerStars player Toby Lewis, 20, was
already thriving when he won a big pot on Day 4 against Swedish PokerStars qualifier (and former
chip leader) Martin Jacobson. Lewis, who hails from Southampton but now lives in London, has
played several EPTs and cashed in Prague and the Grand Final last season. He also came 7th at the
PokerStars IPT event in Venice for €25,000 and 12th at the recent PokerStars Russian Poker Series
event in Riga for €5,250.
Seat 3: Martin Jacobson, Sweden, PokerStars qualifier – 441,000 PokerStars qualifier Martin
Jacobson had a rough Day 4, losing several flips which massively dented his stack, but the talented
pro has still managed to make the final table. He already has a string of great results to his name
including third place at EPT Budapest for €197,904, runner-up at WPT Venice last year for €238,840
and a fourth place finish in the World Series $1,500 side event this summer for $183,345. His live
tournament winnings are already close to $1 million.
Seat 4: Jason “JaspudUF” Lee, 25, Florida, USA PokerStars qualifier – 1,167,000 Jason doesn’t like
long-haul flights much, so he has only played one EPT before – Copenhagen in Season 5 (and he
didn’t cash). He has scored a couple of minor cashes in the live arena with a $2,025 finish in a $1k
event at this year’s WSOP and another $2,099 in another Vegas tournament in July of this year but
he’s mainly an online pro, playing as “JaspudUF”. He’s cashed for $428,025 in PokerStars
tournaments..and has made several other five-figure scores. His biggest online win was $42,000.
According to Lee’s twitter account, he “loves working out, kickboxing and making people laugh”.
He’s being railed in Vilamoura by his great friends Norwegian pro Annette Obrestad and American
Scott Montgomery.
Seat 5: Sergio Coutinho, 30, Oporto, Portugal – 872,000 Coutinho has played two EPTs so far – San
Remo and Vilamoura last season – but this is his first EPT cash. He was training in physical education
until 2005 and turned pro as a poker player around three years ago. This is his best live result but he
has made the final of several major online tournaments. He said: “I’ve been doing well online so I
thought eventually I had to make a final table in a live event as well.” He has come second and third
in major online events as well as coming second in the PokerStars Sunday Second Chance
tournament. Last December, he came 11th here in Vilamoura in the €1,000 PokerStars Solverde
Poker Season main event.
Seat 6: Sam Trickett, 24, Nottingham, UK – 3,318,000 British pro Sam Trickett soared into the lead at
EPT Vilamoura when he won a massive pot to knock out Italian Marco Leonzio. That made him the
first player to over the 2,000,000 chip mark. Trickett has been playing poker, both live and online, for
around six years. This is his third EPT, but first cash (he has played the last two EPT London events).
His best live result to date was runner-up to Jason DeWitt in the WSOP $5,000 NLHE event this
summer for over $500k but he has had several other big scores including fourth place in the 2008
WSOP $5k NLHE event and winning the Luton GUKPT in 2008.
Seat 7: Rob Hollink, 48, Groningen, Netherlands – 259,000 chips Father-of-three Hollink was the
first ever EPT Grand Final champion back in Season 1 in 2005. The veteran Dutch pro has played
numerous EPTs since but has never again mirrored that early success. Before reaching Vilamoura this
year, he wrote on his blog that he was likely to bust in the first few days so he would have plenty of
time to play golf. How wrong he was! His last EPT cash was San Remo in Season 4. He also became
the first ever Dutch WSOP bracelet winner when he won the $10,000 Limit Hold’Em World
championships in 2008 for almost $500,000. He is currently the final table short stack but still in with
a chance of being the first ever double EPT champion.
Seat 8: Frederik Jensen, 28, Denmark, PokerStars player – 375,000 Also known as Frederik Brink
Jensen, this young Danish pro has had a stunning 2010 so far. It’s actually the first year he has ever
cashed in a major live tournament but he started spectacularly, finishing second at the Aussie
Millions for over $1 million. In April he had his first ever EPT cash (78th at San Remo for € 13,000)
and then two weeks later came third in the €5,000 NLHE side event at the EPT Grand Final for
€102,900. His best online result was winning the PokerStars Sunday Million in August 2008 for
$205,000. He also came 25th in the SCOOP Main Event this spring.
