Philipp Gruissem — Professional Poker Player
At the young age of 25, Philipp Gruissem has had some terrific success in European poker tournaments and hopes that continues in this event. The native of Brighton in Germany hopes to follow fellow countryman Pius Heinz in bringing another giant victory and title from the World Series of Poker back to his home country.
With three six-figure scores in the last year, including two first place finishes and two third-place finishes in European tournaments, Gruissem now has more than $2 million in lifetime earnings in less than three years on the tournament circuit.
