Emanuel Karlen to Play Doyle Brunson for $25,000

Emanuel Karlen, otherwise known as “ManneKK”, was the winner of the Doylesroom.com $25,000 Summer Series Freeroll Grand Finale. With this win comes the chance to play the legendary Doyle Brunson in a heads-up match for another $25,000 dollar prize and of course major bragging rights. On winning the finale Karlen said "The tournament was really fun, Early on I managed to double up with a couple of flopped sets and big slicks that held up. Things went my way. Late game was all about choosing spots carefully because the structure was pretty fast. Playing a legend like Doyle Brunson heads-up is more than I ever could have dreamed of. I'm really looking forward to it and I will be happy, win or lose."

The event will take place on Doylesroom.com on September 30th at 6pm BST (5pm GMT).  Karlen not only won $25,000 and a chance to play “the godfather of poker” but will also appear on the cover of Online Poker Pro with him.

Doyle is ready to play Karlen and had this to say: “Congratulations to Emanuel on winning the right to take me on Heads-Up. I've seen some of our Scandinavian players in action and they are pretty good. I am looking forward to putting Emanuel to the test in the final match of the most innovative tournament series DoylesRoom.com has ever produced.”
