Jonathan Schroer won his seat to EPT Snowfest in a Frequent Player Points satellite on PokerStars – which means his first ever trip to Europe has cost him nothing at all. Schroer is one of the few amateurs in the Snowfest final; by day he is the head of a Montessori School in North Carolina. Schroer is an international master at chess and is a poker veteran having been playing online for nearly ten years. He normally plays limit cash games, and also satellite tournaments.
