Congratulations to André Kaplar on taking home the title of 2008 TonyG WSOP League Winner! This win has upgraded André to the ranks of Team PokerNews allowing him to battle it out with all of poker’s finest at the 39th Annual World Series of Poker. What’s his story so far? It was five years ago when André started playing poker. “I started playing just for fun, but soon realised I could make some extra money [from it],” explains André. Now the translator enjoys playing poker both live and online with a preference for tournaments over ring games. His two favourite variations of poker are No Limit Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi/Lo. André has enjoyed many successes in his poker career including recently winning multiple online tournaments. Winning the TonyG WSOP League felt “like a dream was coming true” for André and he admits he has yet to stop celebrating! The Brazilian counts “watching movies and Friday-night-poker with friends and lots of beer!” as his two favourite things to do. This will be his first experience at a major poker tournament and his first attempt at the World Series. Interestingly enough, André also plans to get married in Las Vegas.
