PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship Final Player Profiles Part 2

We profile the final four players who have made it to the final table of the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship.

Earlier this week we brought you the first four men to win their heat to make it to the final table of the PokerStrategy.com TV World Championship, today we look at the last four who will be fighting for that $20,000 first prize.

axleska
Heat 5 was one of the strangest and most fun heats, because not only did it feature professional body popper RooPopper showing off his dance moves, we also saw Poker Heaven CEO Crispin Nieboer stepping as a last minute replacement.

Nieboer almost won it too, managing to get to the heads-up match despite a shaky start to the heat.

But amidst all the fun and festivity of such an unusual heat, Axleska of Hungary stayed under the radar, and quietly accumulated chips while the rest of the table were capturing the attention of the cameras.

By winning the heat, he became the second Hungarian in a row to make the final table. He has already scalped one poker CEO, can he make it two at the final?



xenboy
South Korean PokerStrategy.com coach xenboy had some understandable language problems during his heat, and wasn't always fully able to communicate with the dealers.

But there was little doubt that he made up for this by letting his chips do the talking in heat 5.

Xenboy already has a reputation for being hyper aggressive and he did not disappoint, as he really pounded his table into submission on his way to victory. He will be a player nobody wants to seated out of position to in the final.



martin77bg
Amazingly martin77bg of Bulgaria has now made back to back TV final tables following his victory in London. The 34 year old photographer is already a TV champion, having won Face The Ace in Bulgaria.

The deck really hit martin77bg in the face in the final heat, as he barely lost any hands and eliminated everyone else in the heat single handed.

The final hand really demonstrated just how well he was running, busting not one, but two players in the same hand, and doing away with the need for a heads-up match at all.

martin77bg - Two Time TV Champion?

Korn
The wildcard at this final table is PokerStrategy.com CEO Dominik 'Korn' Kofert. He didn't need to win a heat to make it to the final table, and he will instead be representing the PokerStrategy.com community, and giving any winnings he makes back to our players.

He will have an entirely different mindset to the rest of the table, and it could be argued that there is no pressure on him compared to the rest of the final, so expect him to be really playing for the win and trying to do the PokerStrategy.com community proud.
