Philipp Gotschy is still pretty green in the poker world, trying to make his way to the top as many before him have done.
But at least this is a start. He bested the PokerStars Festival London Sat £82 qualifier on his birthday, guaranteeing him a Main Event seat, a £990 value. This was his third bullet on this kind of satellite; he had already fired two bullets at the end of November. Gotschy will play Day 1C on Jan. 27.
Gotschy began playing poker at 18 after a friend introduced him to home games.
