Beware The Wounded Animal
We admit we haven't heard a lot about Mikael Thuritz, but a quick look at his poker resume told us that this guy is the real deal as the young Swede has results dating back to 2003 across a multitude of countries including Finland, Australia, Spain, England, Sweden, Monaco, Wales and the United States.
Thuritz also has four WPT cashes and two WSOP cashes to his credit - both of which were in the WSOP Main Event (2006 and 2009) with his biggest cash in the 2006 WSOP Main Event where 41st place was good for $247,399.
Thuritz has no notable results in 2010 with his last major cash coming in the $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha Event at the 2009 Five Diamond Poker Classic where he collected the trophy and $162,475.
He's taken some hits here so far at this final table to now find himself on the short stack but don't count out this talented Swede just yet!
