2014 WSOP November Nine Profile: Felix Stephensen
Back on July 14, the 2014 World Series of Poker Main Event final table was set. The players in this year's "November Nine" are set to resume play on November 10, and it is a globally diverse group of young players who will be battling it out for the $10 million top prize.
Sitting in second place with 32.775 million in chips heading into the final table, Norway's Felix Stephensen aims to not only win the greatest prize in all of poker, but he also hopes to be a great ambassador for the game.
"I really hope I can make poker a more accepted sport or profession in Norway, and I’d like to be a good ambassador for the sport," said Stephensen in an interview with PokerNews. "I’ve been doing this for a living for years, so people will see that it’s not all luck, it’s actually something you can be pretty good at and you’ll get results if you work hard."
Stephensen is originally from Osla, Norway, and is 24 years old. He's known as "FallAtyourFeet" in the online realm and is good friends with fellow Norwegian online pro Ola "no_Ola" Amundsgard. Like chip leader Jorryt van Hoof, Stephensen prefers playing pot-limit Omaha cash games online.
