PokerStars qualifier Tamas Lendvai came to Auckland all the way from Hungary. The 38-year-old businessman moonlights as a professional poker player and has been playing cards for about five years.
Lendvai’s tournament résumé is impressive by any standards. He’s won just under $500,000 USD in prize money traveling the circuit and has posted cashes on the EPT, APPT, NAPT, WSOP and most recently on the Italian Poker Tour (IPT), where he won the €2,000 buy-in IPT Venice Main Event, scoring a €235,000 payday. Lendvai also cashed in last year’s APPT Auckland Main Event, finishing in 31st place – good for an NZD $5,523 score.
Lendvai enters the final table with 472,000 in chips.
