Benger was part of a successful Counter-Strike team under the nickname shaGuar. He transitioned to poker after feeling he had reached his peak in Counter-Strike. His first significant poker win was €429,000 at the EPT Berlin High Roller in 2013. Benger won $1 million in the television show Shark Cage in 2014.

Vojtech Ružička, known as Vojta_R, is from the Czech city of Liberec. His father owned a small plastic products factory, where Vojtech worked nights for 12 hours at the age of 16. Ružička started playing poker while studying at university and later focused on SNG online. His biggest online poker success was sharing the prize in the top-5 of the WCOOP Main Event in 2011, earning $710,000. His biggest offline poker success before the WSOP was winning the EPT Deauville High Roller. Ružička signed a long-term agreement with King's Casino for the final table.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
