In poker, the pros who have been playing for a long time usually get all the attention. People are now talking about a less well-known person named Daniel Johnson, who is 29 years old and from Strathaven. He has done an amazing thing. Johnson, who works as an independent poker dealer, has won packages to the PokerStars EPT Prague Main Event and the first Live Spin & Go Championship.
Johnson isn’t a full-time poker pro, but his drive and hard work have helped him reach this amazing goal. He says with a smile, “These days I play more than I deal.” He went from being a poker dealer to a serious player, which is an amazing story. His recent success shows how much he loves and commits to the game.
How Did I Get Started in EPT Prague?
Johnson first became interested in poker by playing simple card games with his family and friends. As a dealer, though, he learned about the thrill and high payouts of high-level poker. Seeing other players win a lot of money with just one card made him want to play in the big games.
Johnson says, “I got really into poker when I worked at the Genting Poker room in Edinburgh.” “I’ve always liked the idea of making a small buy-in into a big win. To that end, I’ve been concentrating more on events than on cash games. He mostly plays in low-stakes online events these days, but if he gets lucky, he will sometimes play in live games.
EPT Prague: The platform of choice is PokerStars
Johnson has used PokerStars for many years but now has switched to another site. He says, “The customer service is great, and the software works well.” “It feels safe, and they care about the players.” He recently won packages to two big events because he was loyal to PokerStars.
It took a €5.50 feeding satellite to get the EPT Prague package, which was the first big win. Johnson says, “This is my biggest win so far, so I was really happy.” Soon after, he won another package for the Live Spin & Go Championship, which he can’t wait to attend.
How to Win the EPT Prague Package?
Getting his EPT Prague plan wasn’t an easy task for him. Johnson started with a €5.50 satellite and worked his way up to a €55 level before reaching the prized €530 stage. “I’ve been over €55 a few times, but never over €530,” he says. “Just getting there was amazing.“
He kept his cool when he was up against strong players. When it came to heads-up, I played against a skilled German regular, but I won. It made me feel wonderful and relaxed!” With this win, he secured a spot at the prestigious EPT Prague Main Event, which is a dream for many poker players around the world.
Going for the Live Spin & Go Championship?
Johnson chose to play in the Live Spin & Go Championship now that he had his EPT kit. He hadn’t spent much time on Spin & Go tournaments before, but the draw of another package was too strong to resist.
The top two players received a €2,735 package, while the third through fiftieth placed players had the opportunity to participate in a freeroll. Johnson dedicated himself to playing nonstop for three days. “I was in third place on the fourth morning, but I chose to play in the freeroll anyway,” he says.
It was a profitable bet. He won with a strong nine-eight against pocket tens, which sealed the deal. He laughs and says, “It was lucky, but I’ll take it!” He is now going to play in both the EPT Prague and the Live Spin & Go Championship.
Getting ready for EPT Prague
Johnson has never been to a big European Poker Tour event before EPT Prague. He says, “It’s impossible not to dream about winning.” “But for now, I’m just concentrating on having fun.” In order to get ready, he is practicing his skills and will ask his close friend and well-known poker player David Docherty for help.
Docherty plays on the EPT often. He was the 2023 UKIPT Player of the Year and won the Irish Open. Johnson wants Docherty to teach him something. He says, “I’m not good at studying, but I’ll do my best for the EPT!”
Tips for people who want to play
Johnson tells other poker fans that they should try satellite events because they are an excellent way to make money. He asserts, “People often overlook satellites as a great way to prepare for big events.” “There is always a chance to make it, whether you start at $1.10, $2.20, or $5.50.”
Johnson’s clear advice for players who want to follow in his footsteps is to keep trying and never forget about the smaller satellites. His own rise from low-stakes games to one of the biggest poker events in Europe shows what’s possible.
