Marcin Horecki
Born in Poland, Marcin Horecki is a former member of the National alpine skiing team, winning several medals at junior and senior level. After being forced to quit the sport because of injury, Marcin studied for a Bachelors degree and a Masters, and found work in the corporate financial business. He also began playing Magic: The Gathering around this time, a game that would introduce him to the poker tables at PokerStars.
Starting out on the play money tables, Marcin worked his way up through the ranks of low stakes cash games and tournaments, building up a healthy bankroll. In 2006, he made his first impact on the live circuit when he came close to making the final table of the €1,000 No Limit Hold’em event at the Barcelona Open. The cash prize of $3,927 was small, but it gave Marcin the confidence he needed to make it as a pro player.
In January 2007, he cashed in the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Season 3 Copenhagen event, winning $9,580 for finishing in 30th. This was followed three months later by a final table appearance at the Asian Poker Classic in Goa, a cash that was worth $29,000. Later in the year, Marcin travelled to Vienna to play in the Austrian Masters, and took down the €500 No Limit Hold’em Rebuy event for $28,637. His major breakthrough result came in October 2008 at the EPT Season 5 London No Limit Hold’em event where Marcin cashed for $532,111. This huge payday saw his career winnings to date more than sextuple, moving him up to second on the all-time money list for Polish players, with $647,199.
When he isn’t playing, Marcin is a huge fan of winter sports, especially skiing and ski jumping. He still plays Magic: The Gathering, and also likes to travel, play tennis and keep up to date with the financial world.
Already one of the highest earning Polish poker players of all time, Marcin Horecki will be looking to take down his first major title at the biggest events around the world. He is a member of Team PokerStars Pro and plays online using the screen name ‘Goral’.
