WSOP 2008

Winning a $12,500 Team PokerNews Freeroll made me feel mad with power...

Stuart Gunn’s poker career started seven years ago. He admits he started “so friends could make money off me.” Now the Australian mostly plays poker online and enjoys No Limit Texas Holdem and 2-7 Triple Draw. He dabbles mostly in ring games rather than tournaments. Stuart’s passion for poker has won him many titles including finishing second in the 2005 Caribbean Poker Classic (CPC) where he took home over USD200k in winnings. Winning a $12,500 Team PokerNews Freeroll made Stuart feel “mad with power” and he celebrated by “not playing any further World Series satellites.” Outside of the poker scene, Stuart finds the time to indulge in his love for “squash, film, hiking, reading, video games and all realms of human discovery.” The husband and father of one is no stranger to the major poker tournament scene – having played in the CPC, the Aussie Millions and the 2006 World Series of Poker (WSOP) where he admits he was “so jet lagged that in the final hour of Day 1, I crashed and donked off all my chips.” PokerNews is once again the official and exclusive online chip count provider for this year’s WSOP. So stay tuned for up-to-the-minute updates on Stuart and the rest of Team PokerNews as they battle it out to become crowned poker champion of the world!
