I'm Jealous....

Ok so the WCOOP is over now. But everyone is still talking about this kid Jordan Berkowitz. He's now 18, still not even legal to play poker but through his mums account and his friend's has managed to final table in consecutive WCOOP Main Events, winning this last one! He must be a pretty decent player to have achieved this and i've heard he makes quite a serious amount at the cash tables too. -It can't just be luck. When making a deal in the final 3, being the short stack he said he would take no less than evens because he rates his stack as a lot more against the other guys. Not exactly short of confidence, but comes accross pretty arrogant. I think you would be a bit too in his shoes though, being so young and taking this kind of cash.

Lucky fucker!

    he later admitted he was pissed by that time, but i have also seen him described as an arrogant prick sober.
    apparently he was bust and owed tons of cash only a couple of months ago

    Really? Pretty interesting. From reading that article from last year and the fact that he placed so well again I assumed he was making real good money.

    Hadn't heard anything about him being busy a couple of month's ago, but I guess it can happen to anyone despite how much you've won. Looks like he's got a pretty good BR to work with now though...

    "After cutting a deal at the final table where Panella86 took $527,342, tralala $573,735 and Vendetta $540,877, the eventual winner, 18 year old Panella86 took home the extra $50,000 and the WCOOP bracelet when his J/10 hit a 10 on the turn after all the chips went in on a six high flop (2nd placed Vendetta holding A/6 at the time)."
