He was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1983 and was extremely competitive in sports like football and diving till his teen years. During his teen years his interests shifted and he commenced playing pool – even winning the Finnish Junior Championships twice. When he was fifteen years-old he studied a TV program about Texas Hold’em. The program left Ziigmund fascinated and after talking about the game with his billiard pals he was invited to a home poker game with them. The game was hosted at fellow heavy stakes player Patrik Antonius’ home. After playing the game for real with his buddies Ziigmund was left hooked and even started skipping college so as to play poker. When Ziigmund eventually graduated from college at eighteen years-old he started playing in the money games at the Grand Casino Helsinki. By 2002 Ziigmund was a regular winner at the casino and made a decision to take his game on the internet and download ub. He joined a couple of internet poker sites and deposited, beginning at the $50 No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha games. Ziigmund had instant pre-eminence in these games, but his downfall would be bankroll management .
After one or two winning sessions he would move up to higher stakes and take shots, only to go broke. This occurred to him numerous times but he managed to reconstruct his bankroll thanks to his assertive style. Ziigmund built his bankroll by playing 15-hour sessions each day, multi-tabling the games. Quickly Ziigmund had made a fearful reputation on Western european sites, such a lot that few players would play against him. After dominating all of the Western european web poker sites, Ziigmund opened a full-tilt Poker account in 2006. At this time the largest games available on Full Lean Poker were $25 / $50 NLHE and $50 / $100 PLO. Ziigmund turned into a regular fixture in these games, playing against players such as Phil Ivey, Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan, Gus Hansen, his buddy Patrik Antonius, and many others. Since 2006 the games have grown and the highest boundaries available on full-tilt Poker are now $500 / $1000 where Ziigmund is a regular winner. According to highstakesdb.com, Ziigmund has won $3.4 million playing at full-tilt Poker.
This number would be much more, but Ziigmund used to have a habit of playing drunk and flipping pots worth many thousands. He in addition has been celebrated for his chat escapades, regularly making reference to Gus Hansen as a fish and calling players fortunate, which makes for ub review!
