Imagine turning up to Wimbledon or Augusta and winning your first professional tennis or golf tournament. Virtually impossible, but Roger Spets is within reach of achieving such a feat. Spets, a 40-year-old originally from Sweden but a resident of Malaysia for the past 10 years, is playing in his first live poker tournament. The owner of a wealth management company, Spets has been playing poker for only two and a half years, starting out in home games before turning his focus to cash games and sit ‘n’ goes on PokerStars. Despite being home to one of the highest ratios of online players in the world, Sweden has turned out surprisingly few champions on the world tournament poker stage (Martin de Knijff is a rare exception), but Spets could soon write a new chapter in Swedish poker history.
