Jose Ferreira can’t remember why he started playing poker. What he does remember is the money he started winning after he started and since then, he hasn’t stopped. The Physical Education teacher has been actively working on his game for the past three years and now enjoys playing poker both live and online. He favours Multi-table tournaments and Ring 6 Max Games when playing. Jose was both thrilled and speechless when he won this €1,500 PokerNews Cup Austria Package, “I have no words… AMAZING!” He proceeded to celebrate by showering his girlfriend with kisses and “having a beer.” The Portugal native’s biggest poker success is finishing third in a recent live tournament in his hometown. This will be Jose’s first experience at a major poker tournament and his first visit to Austria. Congratulations to Jose for joining the ever-growing ranks of Team PokerNews. Join us on PokerNews.com as we watch Jose and the rest of the team at the 2008 PokerNews Cup Austria.
