Last December he won two $ 100 rebuy events in the space of two days, claiming $ 19,050 and $ 16,620 respectively

Traumatize is the latest in a line of top young players to emerge from Scandinavia...

Another week, another Swede making a name for himself in online poker. Meet Traumatize, the latest whizkid from Stockholm.

The 20-year-old, who lists his hobbies as "movies and girls", has made a big impact playing on PokerStars, winning $183,483 since the start of 2006. His biggest single win came in July 2006 when he finished first out of 238 runners in a $100 rebuy event to land $23,265.

But arguably an even more impressive feat occurred last December, when he won two other $100 rebuy events in the space of two days. He saw off fields of 171 and 155 players to claim $19,050 and $16,620 respectively. That's good wonga for a guy barely out of his teens! Who needs pocket money?

It's been a very good 2007 for him so far too. In January he finished fourth (out of 1,006) in a $200 event on UltimateBet to win $13,078 and landed an even bigger prize ($14,130) for winning a $100 buy-in on PokerStars. Although widely known as Traumatize, he plays under the name LittleM0lly on PartyPoker, where he's won more than $40,000 in the past 15 months.

When he's old enough to play in a Vegas casino we can expect a bold show from the youngster at the World Series of Poker. The worrying thing for future opponents is that he's already told pocketfives.com: "I play a lot of online but I'm much better live than on the internet," he said.
