Bengt Sonnert is a fast becoming a sensation in the poker world. A former engineering student from the home town of internet legend Erik Sagstrom, Bengt is just 24, and has only been playing poker for three years, but that hasn’t stopped him building up a fierce reputation and a sizeable bankroll.

Like most young Swede’s, Bengt cut his teeth on the Internet, but he rose up the proverbial ladder so quickly he had become one of the highest earning internet poker players worldwide in less than two years.

In the last year Bengt has ventured out of the bedroom to flaunt his skills on the live tournament circuit; meeting with considerable success along the way. Bengt made TV tables within months, first in the Ladbrokes Poker Million where he won his heat before bowing out in the final, and then in the Monte Carlo Millions.
