Player Focus: AJunglen7

Adam Junglen has already won the Sunday Million, taking down a first prize of $198,000 in July 2007. Less than a month before that, he had placed 3rd on Full Tilt's $1k Monday for another $33k. He also made another final table appearance in the Sunday Million, finishing 6^th.

Obviously a large part of AJunglen7's tournament winnings on PokerStars have come from his win in the Million, although total winnings for the last 12 months on that site amount to nearly $350,000, of which $265k is pure profit. Add another $75,000 made on Fullt Tilt, $45k of which is profit, and you can see that young Junglen is a player to be reckoned with. He has one of the highest ROIs (return on investment) in the online game.

Rumble in the Junglen

Adam Junglen isn’t even old enough to play in US casinos so he can’t take part in the Word Series of Poker yet, but when he does turn 21 next year expect some big results. Junglen has already played in the WSOPE, finishing outside the money but making a real impression.

Seated on the TV table next to Daniel Negreanu, Adam came in for some joshing from the Kid Poker who had obviously heard about the internet ‘phenom’.

“A thousand bucks ain’t what it used to be, is it?” he asked Adam. “These net kids don’t get outta bed for that, do they?”

Adam, surprised that the poker star knew who he was, confirmed that $1,000 was indeed a paltry sum of money.

Later when the action was folded around to Negreanu on the button he limped into the pot, then looked at Adam, and said: “Oh, I guess I’m gonna get a telling off now. Limping into a pot on the button is so negative EV isn’t it? There will be forum posts about this!”

But if he failed to cash in London that wasn’t the case in Barcelona where in the EPT event in August ’07 he picked $268,622 for finishing 6^th. It was the first of what will likely be many final table appearances.
