Two years ago I decided to live in Las Vegas for the summer with two other college dropouts, a retired stock trader and a real college student as we all sought to compete with the best players in the world in an attempt to win fame and fortune in the world series of poker. So far this year we have gone a long ways towards achieving our dream, between me and my four roommates that year , Peter Jetten, Max Greenwood, Phil Galfond, Dan Quinn (we were later joined by Alan Sass) we have taken down two world series of poker bracelets, and came excruiatingly close to two more with a second and a third place finish. Not too bad for a few kids who just started with nothing but a big dream.
