Thirty-year-old Titan Poker player, Maik Andre Daehling from Germany, one of fifteen attending Titan Poker players, won the Pokerface 2007 Tournament, which took place at the Binion's Gambling Hall in Las Vegas, this week.

A Hamburg resident, Maik makes his living as a freelance journalist, working for a small daily in his own town. The excitement of the Pokerface 2007 Tournament was twofold for Maik, as it turned out to be both his very first trip to the U.S.A and his first live game ever. Gaining experience by his regular game play at Titan Poker, he finished first in Titan Poker's Pokerface Titanium Diamond Tournament that awarded him a seat at the Pokerface 2007 Main Event in Las Vegas.

Maik's first response after becoming the World's Best Poker Player, the titled bestowed on him by the organizers of Pokerface 2007, was: "Today has changed my life, I still can't believe it!" The Pokerface 2007 Main Event awarded Maik with a $200,000 professional poker player package including tournament buy-ins around the world in the sum of $100,000, travel expenses amounting to $30,000 and a salary of about $70,000.

Maik Daehling will represent Titan Poker at the upcoming World Series of Poker Tournament and when asked about his preparations for the big event, he said he'd watch pros on TV, practice at Titan Poker, and enjoy the sun.
