One of the first Swedishonline poker stars is Erik “Erik123” Sagstrom. He began playing at the age of 17 and quickly established himself in some of the biggest limit hold’em games online. The Linkoping native was one of the first young players to drop out of school to play poker fulltime, back when most people didn’t even know what Texas hold’em was. His first big tournament win came in the 2003 WCOOP in the $300 no-limit hold’em event for $101,850. It was the biggest online tournament first-place prize pool at the time.
