PSPC 2020: Great timing by Christoph Walkenhorst

[user341012]

Niveau 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Platinum Pass Winner Christoph Walkenhorst

Life, like poker, is sometimes all about good timing and knowing when to make your move. For Christoph Walkenhorst, a 35-year-old social worker from Germany, that move was made a little over a month ago.

“I hadn’t played online poker for some years, but in my home game my friends kept talking about online poker,” Walkenhorst tells PokerStars Blog the morning after he won one of the first Platinum Passes to the PokerStars Players No Limit Hold’em Championship (PSPC) 2020 (more on that in a moment).

“I told my friends that I have two kids, and therefore no time to play an eight-hour tournament online. And that’s when they told me about the Chase Your Dream freerolls.”

The Chase Your Dream competition began with online freerolls, and anyone who went deep enough was then invited to send in audition tape. The prize, they all thought, was the chance to come to EPT Barcelona and play in an invite-only tournament versus pros and celebrities, with a shot at winning €10,000.

That was all true. But there was a whole lot more at stake too.
