PokerNews CUP Australia 2008

Winning a $5,000 PNC Package is like a dream come true!

Daniel Perfeito leads the way as the first member to be inducted into our Team for this year’s 2008 PokerNews Cup Australia. The Informatic Engineer from the city of Grijo, Portugal has been playing poker for the last two years. “I was always interested in the game… I used to play Seven Card Stud many years ago and upon suggestion by a friend, I started playing Texas Holdem,” explains Daniel. An avid fan of both online and offline poker, the Texas Holdem enthusiast admits to spending more time playing tournaments than ring games. Winning a $5,000 PokerNews Cup Australia Package is Daniel’s biggest poker success and he felt “very happy! It is a dream come true!”. “I jumped from my chair, laughed, and went to tell my wife about the win,” says Daniel. When not busy honing his skills on the felt, the Portugese native enjoys reading books and going to the cinema. Daniel is also a familiar face in the live tournament scene and can regularly be found competing in games across Portugal and Spain. This will be his first visit to Australia. We look forward to watching Daniel compete at the Southern Hemisphere’s most anticipated poker tournament – good luck!
