Where Are They Now: EPT London Season 9 (2012) Champ Ruben Visser
The Netherlands’ Ruben Visser was much like Spindler in that he had a successful poker career even before winning the EPT London. For instance, he finished runner-up in the €5,000 NLHE event at the 2010 EPT Grand Final for €171,450; 44th in the 2011 WSOP Main Event for $196,174; eighth in the 2012 PCA Main Event for $156,400; and second in the 2012 EPT Deauville for €152,000.
A year later, Visser would be back at an EPT final table in London, a tournament that attracted 647 players and created a prize pool of ￡3,137,950. Visser emerged victorious at that final table, which included Steve O’Dwyer (5th - ￡146,000) and Theo Jorgensen (4th - ￡183,000), and took down his first EPT title and the accompanying ￡595,000 first-place prize.
Here's a look at Visser’s post-victory interview from last year:
