He has final tabled the $100 re-buys on an astonishing 13 occasions

Meet the Swede who has taken down practically every major online tournament going…

eisenhower1 has been one of the leading Scandinavians in the online tournament field for well over a year now, which is saying something considering the level of competition from his fellow Swedes, Finns & Norwegians.

He is consistently ranked in the upper echelons of the Pocket Fives leaderboards and is one of the few prestigious ‘Triple Crown’ winners (achieved by winning 3 large MTT’s within a week).

Perhaps the most notable achievement of the mysterious Swede is his ability to clean up across a number of different sites, something rarely seen in the PokerStars/Full Tilt era of tournament poker. He took down the Bodog Sunday $100,000 GTD twice in two months (August – September ’07) for scores of $25,000 apiece as well as winning the Absolute Poker $100,000 Pro Bounty GTD in July 2008 for a further $30,900. He can also boast prizes of almost $250,000 on Party Poker, which includes victory in the High Roller $30,000 GTD in June 2008 for $20,900.

This is not to say that he hasn’t had success in the more ‘high-profile’ online tournaments. The Stars $100 re-buys is his bread and butter, having won it on no fewer than 3 times (the biggest score being for $35,447 in June ’07). He has final tabled this particular event on an astonishing 13 occasions, making him comfortably one of the most successful re-buy players in the sites history. His bankroll has also been supplemented by wins in the Daily Fifty Grand (Feb ’08 for$15,052) & the Sunday Warm-Up (July ’08 for $97,664).

As you can see, June and July of 2008 have seen Eisenhower on the biggest heater of his career and we estimate his total winnings for the two months to be well above the $175,000 mark. He is similar to Halfrek in that he is a Scandinavian whose identity is scarcely revealed, and both have had major scores of late. Eisenhower’s most high profile online result is without doubt his final table of the 2007 FTOPS Main Event, which saw an unbelievable 4,371 entries and a prize pool of over $2.1million. He eventually busted in 5th, earning himself a cool $90,261 in the process.

It seems fame is not on this guy’s agenda, but making money certainly is. If you come across him in the plethora of tournaments that he plays, you have been warned.
