What did you accomplish by age 20? Chances are, not as much as Dominik Nitsche - our pick for the PTPR Future Watch Player - the one to watch in 2012 ...

Win a big tournament? Check. Collect 1M in lifetime live tournament earnings? Check. Travel the world with the goal to become one of the best? Check. Come to America and dominate the WSOP? In progress.

Nitsche's poker resume is impressive. He is not shy to travel the world - his wins in Argentina, Cyprus and Greece are proof of that. Nitsche is well known on the circuit and is about to invade America - and the World Series of Poker.

Nitsche will be 21 years old by the time the WSOP hits next summer, and that's why he is our pick for the Future Watch Award - a full summer at the Rio and Nitsche could very well be the next big poker player to come out of Germany.

So once again, we ask the question - what did you accomplish by age 20? Congratulations Dominik on a wonderful first few years, now keep it up!
