Written by Lima Poker Series
The Lima Poker Series is proud to announce that the World Series of Poker Pro and Winner Kevin Stammen has committed to play in the 2010 Lima Poker Championship.
At 23-years old, Kevin "Stammdogg" Stammen from Celina, Ohio won his first World Series of Poker bracelet and $506,786 for his first place finish in Event 13 on June 7th, 2009.Stammen has been playing poker since he was a child.
He started out playing in friendly games with friends and became a regular in many private games around the Dayton area by his teen years. He now plays poker full-time, both in private games and online.
When Stammen turned 19, he began playing in casinos in Windsor, ON (Canada), since the legal age is lower in some Ontario Casinos than elsewhere. “Ever since I was like 15 or 16, I played poker in the clubs in Ohio,” Stammen stated. “I used to play in some of the small tournaments they had when I was younger.”
Stammen has now cashed seven times at the WSOP, all since 2007. He also had three WSOP Circuit cashes. "Its good to have a bracelet. Last year I came out here and cashed four times. I got close a few times, but I took a few beats. This win sure makes up for it" says Stammen.
