		Player Bio
		Harry Demetriou Harry Demetriou is somewhat of a newcomer to the tournament poker scene, having started competing in 2002. Harry is a retired clinical scientist who then ventured successfully into the stock market. Demetriou's venture into tournament poker can also be classified as yet another success with career winnings around $1.2 million. In his own trip report of the 2004 WSOP, Harry explains how he prepared for the event similar to the way an athlete would prepare for the Olympics. To improve his endurance during long multi-day tournaments, Harry quit smoking and began working out up to 90 minutes every other day. He stresses how poker tournaments must be taken seriously and treated professionally if a player is to succeed today. Demetriou also explains how reading every book on poker and discussing hands and situations with fellow professional players helped him tremendously in his rapid improvement as a player. Some of Harry Demetriou's accomplishments in tournament poker include: 3rd place in the 2002 WSOP No Limit Hold 'em event worth $80,200, 3rd place in the 2003 Crown Australasian Poker Championships good for $69,728, and 18th place in the 2004 WSOP Main Event taking home $147,500 in prize money. Recently, Demetriou had a great showing at the 2005 WSOP making two final tables. Harry finished 2nd in the $2,500 Short Handed No Limit Hold 'em event collecting $163,850 and 6th place in the $2,000 No Limit Hold 'em event worth $123,915. Harry Demetriou's professional and disciplined approach to tournament poker will no doubt continue to place him at final tables well into the future.
