Niklas Ostedt's Phenomenal Poker Journey: From Freerolls to Millions


Niklas Ostedt, known as Lena900, is one of the most popular online poker players. In the first season of the Super MILLION$ tournament on GG Poker, Ostedt made it to the prize pool 22 times, reached the final table 12 times, won 2 times, and earned over $3.3 million.

Ostedt won two tournaments in the second season of the Super MILLION$ tournament. He was recognized as the best online poker player in history by PocketFives in May 2021.

Ostedt has been playing poker for over 15 years and first reached the top of the PocketFives rating in 2016. He started playing poker in the mid-2000s after the poker boom and initially played freerolls. Ostedt dropped out of school two years before graduation to focus on poker. He has been living off his poker winnings since he was 20 years old. Ostedt has been avoiding high attention and prefers to keep a low profile.

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.
