Andreas Hoivold says...

Norwegian poker pro Andreas "_Theah_" Hoivold has been playing poker since 2002. Having become a well-known player on the Ladbrokes site, Andreas first came to real prominence in Poker Million V, where he defied the odds to reach the final table and finish a creditable 3rd for $250,000.

Having earnt himself a sponsorship deal on the back of that performance, the extremely likeable Scandinavian follwed it up with a superb victory at the 2007 EPT Dortmund, which netted him a huge $880,000 prize.

Andreas cites Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen as players he respects most on the circuit. His favourite game is Omaha H/L Pot Limit and if he could have one wish it would be to make it legal to play poker in Norway.
