A Second Look at the 2013 WSOP November Nine – Part 5

With the
2013 WSOP November Nine set and with our countdown of the November Niners in full swing, it is now time to take a look at the player who will be sitting in seat #2 come showdown-time: Michiel Brummelhuis from the Netherlands. Unlike Loosli, whom we covered last time around and who has only been playing poker for about two years, Brummelhuis is quite an experienced competitor: he started playing in 2004 and since then, he’s amassed $174.1k from no fewer than 7 WSOP cashes. His overall career profits total more than $670k however. His deepest WSOP finish was a 6th place in event #9 of the 2008 WSOP, a $1.5k affair. That earned him a $53.3k reward. In 2009, he made another deep run: he finished 7th in event #33, the $10k World Championship Limit Holdem event.
Although he is definitely not a household name in
online poker circles, Brummelhuis’ online accomplishments are rather impressive as well. In 2011, he won the Super Tuesday at
PokerStars, besting a starting field of 319 players and picking up the top prize of $65.2k.
His biggest online poker cash came at the end of a win in a $1k WCOOP event, which earned him a $144k prize.
Having made the November Nine, he’s already guaranteed more than $733k, which means that not only is he already guaranteed to take down the largest cash of his career, he will take home more money from this event alone than his entire career earnings.
He will start the November Nine showdown with 11.27 million chips to his name, which isn’t exactly bad, and because his position at the final table isn’t bad either, he should probably be looking way past min-cash. Brummelhuis is the first ever Dutch player to have made a
WSOP Main Event final table.
