One of the most consistent big winners on PokerStars since the start of 2007 has been Asiandude77. His name may suggest he’s about to turn 30, but the player who’s been tearing up the tables is actually a young professional in his early 20s from Minnesota and his real name is Terry Eischens.
The name may mean something to close followers of the live poker tournament scene. Eischens burst into the big time at the Aruba Classic last September, when he finished third in a field of 512 players to claim a prize of $235,905. By showing he could mix it with the likes of Cliff Josephy (aka JohhnyBax), who finished second, Eischens proved he was a force to be reckoned with in the poker world.
His achievements online in 2007 so far have been arguably even more impressive. To say Asiandude77 has emerged as a big hitter on PokerStars would be an understatement.
His winnings on PokerStars alone have already topped the $200,000 mark. You won’t be surprised to learn that such a hefty bankroll has included a number of big wins. In January Asiandude77 scooped $19,470 by winning a $100 rebuy tourney on PokerStars. In February he landed his biggest online prize to date, winning a $300 rebuy to claim $45,956 in a field of 672 runners. He then scored a third big success in as many months, seeing off 316 rivals to win $30,300 in a $100 buyin.
Asiandude77 is yet another USbased player who has the potential to be a dominant force on the poker scene for years to come. Unlike some of his contemporaries, he has already proved his worth in tournament play with his success in Aruba. Little wonder, then, that asiandude77 has the message boards buzzing about his prowess and is being talked about as one of the most feared opponents on PokerStars, particularly in the big MTTs.
Asiandude77′s brief biog on www.pocketfives.com lists Zangbezan24, Annette_15 and JohnnyBax among his favourite players. The way things are going, it won’t be long before Asiandude77 is being spoken about in the same breath as his heroes by a much wider following of poker fans.
