Player Profile: Peter “breeth” Turmezey
If we’re talking who the best online multi-table poker tournament players are, you can’t have the discussion anymore without talking about Peter “breeth” Turmezey. This Hungarian native has appeared out of nowhere in the last six months to climb all the way up the Pocketfives.com online poker rankings, and now sits in the No. 4 spot.

Since July of this year, Turmezey has had cashes of $43,000.10, $23,460.00, $17,556.00, $32,016.00, $31,378.50, $19,147.81, $37,500.00, $28,890.00, $15,295.00, $91,250.00, $72,100.00, $18,112.50, $16,155.00, $15,050.00, and $196,024.50; not to mention many other smaller cashes.
It’s only recently that Turmezey’s name has become available to the public, and he’s mainly kept to himself and avoided the limelight. He goes by “breeth” at some online poker rooms, but his username at another site is “twirlpool”. Up until recently Turmezey played mainly online action, but his recent success has led to him playing more live events. He has three cashes in Euro events totaling over $39,000, and added a 31st-place finish in the 2008 WSOP Main Event for $46,086.
At the tender age of 22, Turmezey will be on the scene for many years to come. Not only is he crushing the online multi-table tournaments, but he’s also an accomplished pot-limit Omaha and $10/$20 hold’em cash-game player. He’s easily Hungary’s top-ranked online player, and if he keeps up this pace he’ll take over “AJKHoosier1” home atop the online rankings.
Turmezey has recent victories in the $109 re-buy event on PokerStars, the $40,000 Guaranteed re-buy event on Full Tilt Poker, the Sunday Million on PokerStars – again in the $109 re-buy event – plus $65,000 guaranteed on PokerStars, the $40K guaranteed on Full Tilt Poker, the Sunday 500 on PokerStars and the Sunday Brawl on Full Tilt Poker.
Expect to see Turmezey in live events over the next couple of years. He hasn’t made the move to Vegas yet, but the challenge of playing the best card players in the world will eventually beckon to him. He’s only recently turned of age to play poker in Vegas, so we should see more of him as time moves forward. He certainly has the bankroll now to travel to any game at which he desires to sit.
Keep an eye on this rising star, and if you see his username pop up at Pinnacle Sports Poker make sure you’re ready to cope with the thrill of playing against one of the online world’s dominant young players.
