[user341012]

Niveau 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexander Ivarsson didn’t have a six-figure live cash to his name before he won the €2,200 EPT National High Roller at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Barcelona stop last week for €498,520 ($612,854). But don't be fooled — the Swedish poker pro has had plenty of poker success, both live and online over the past decade.

Ivarsson has been carrying the momentum from his largest career win as he goes deep in the €5,300 Main Event, where he bagged a respectable stack after Day 4 with just 16 players left.

“Yeah, obviously coming from a win then straight into the Main Event, and everything went smooth from the beginning, so I’m playing very confident and I believe in myself.”
