Brandon Schaefer

Winner of the European Poker Tour event at Deuville in France. Won 144,000 Euro.
Brandon is always interested in trying to improve his game. As is often the case with young players, he plays online more often than in brick and mortar cardrooms, and experience in tournaments at 'real' casinos is very limited. He will not start jumping into big games suddenly, or start traveling the circuit, even though he will move to San Diego soon where he can combine his study with a little poker - but for sure he will go to the World Series this year.

If I could change anything in the world: I would change the economic contidions of 3rd world countries. I went to Africa about 3 years ago and saw people working 12 hour days, carrying gear up mountains, for about $1 per day. These people will live in poverty forever, not because they are lazy, but because of where they were born. I'm not sure how the change would come about but I would really like to offer these people more opportunities for success.
