Gyorgy Cseke (Tamarac, FL)

Gyorgy Cseke (Tamarac, FL) has a solid tournament poker resume, with over $34,000 in career earnings, including two titles here at the Isle Poker Room (2014 Isle Poker Open and 2016 Florida State Poker Championships).  Those accomplishments pale in comparison to what he's done in his "real" career, as a professional football player (soccer for those here in the states).

Cseke is originally from Hungary, where he had a (10) year career playing for professional clubs in his home country, before moving to the states to join the Storm F.C. (Florida based professional soccer club).  Injuries have kept Gyorgy from the pitch recently, but he's found a new passion in poker.  The last we saw Gyorgy was during the Battles At The Beach series, where he held the chip lead in the beginning stages of Day 2 of the $360 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack event (Event 8).  Cseke would eventually finish in 41st place ($1,087), but he's back in the field today, looking to earn the Isle Poker Room "treble."  Cseke is joined in the field by a group of notables, including the likes of:

Stephen Smith

Michael Tufaro

Nancy Birnnaum

Hugh Hardy

Thomas Gari

Robert Kessler

Vicki Holmes
