Despite playing cards for more than half of his 32 years, Fredrik Nygard is contesting his first EPT here in Prague - and is chip leader going to the final table. He plays any games he can find - blackjack, Caribbean stud, five-card stud, whatever - but is most profitable around the poker tables, where he is primarily a high-stakes, live cash player. He has played on the WPT and at the Aussie Millions, focusing on the side action there, and enjoys travelling to play. Formerly a salesman for nine years, with his own sales consultancy business, Nygard now lives in Oslo, Norway, a short hop from his native Finland.
