Andrew Moreno Biography Andrew Moreno, the husband of former PokerNews hostess Kristy Moreno (former Kirsty Arnett), has been playing poker since the early 2000s. Originally from the Midwest where he worked at a factory running a steel-cutting machine, Moreno met his future wife after overhearing her talk about poker. In 2006, the duo moved to Las Vegas where he started grinding $1-$2 no-limit holdem cash games, working his way up to $25-$50 over the next decade. In 2021, Moreno turned his attention to tournaments with two goals to surpass $1 million in lifetime earnings (he was $100K short at the time) and to notch his first seven-figure score. It didnt take him long to accomplish both. First, in June 2021, he won the Venetian DeepStack Championship Poker Series Event #58: $1,100 NLH for $127,740 to meet his first goal. Just over a week later, he accomplished the other when he topped a 1,328-entry field to win the inaugural $10,000 buy-in Wynn Millions for $1,460,106, a win that vaulted Moreno into the next level of poker superstar. Since then he also won another Venetian tournament in February 2022 for $242,293 (a tournament he famously refused to chop), and in the summer of 2022 nearly won another Wynn major, ultimately finishing runner-up in the Wynn Summer Classic $3,500 Championship for $460,529. What Ive learned over the years is that poker and life are mirrors for one another, said Moreno, who welcomed his first child shortly after his career scores in 2021. Both are skill games with elements of luck. Whatever holds you back in poker, holds you back in life, whether its an unhealthy attachment to money, inability to take calculated risks, inflated ego, or self doubt. Improve your game, improve your life, and vice versa. As of September 2022, Moreno has just shy of $3.5 million in lifetime tournament earnings according to The Hendon Mob.

In 2022, he won two WSOP bracelets including the 2022 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000, becoming the first Norwegian to win poker’s biggest title. The former Unibet Poker Ambassador, also won Event #55: $1,000 Tag Team alongside Patrick Leonard for $148,067 and his first WSOP bracelet. Many will know Jorstad from his online poker grind, mostly on PokerStars where he is known as “Hymn2ninkasi” and GGPoker where he uses the alias “COVFEFE-19”. Primarily a cash game player, Jorstad dips his toes into the tournament poker world on occasion. Jorstad had never cashed at the World Series of Poker until this year. However, he does have 20 WSOP online cashes to his name, including a sixth-place finish in the 2021 WSOP $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event Online Championship worth $603,058. The popular Twitch streamer cashed in his first live WSOP event at the start of the 2022 WSOP, finishing in the money in Event #5: The Housewarming. He and Patrick Leonard took down Event #55: $1,000 Tag Team for $74,042 each plus both players’ first WSOP bracelet. Another cash, this time in Event #68: Million Dollar Bounty, set Jorstad up for deep run to the Main Event title. Jorstad won his $10,000 WSOP Main Event seat online at GGPoker where he won a $1,050 satellite. He, Vadim Rozin, and Tom Kunze were the last three remaining GGPoker qualifiers. Jorstad secured a free WSOP Europe Main Event seat by virtue of reaching the final table while the two other GGPoker qualifiers fell short.

Crandell Addington Biography Crandell “Dandy” Addington is an American poker player and member of the Poker Hall of Fame. He was one of the inaugural players in the 1970 World Series of Poker, and holds the record for most final table appearances (seven). He finished second in the WSOP Main Event on two separate occasions (1974 & 1978). Nicknamed “Dandy” due to his outfits at the table, Doyle Brunson says that Addington stood out like he was some sort of movie star at the tables. “He liked to wear expensive cowboy boots, immaculate Western outfits, and a top-line Stetson,” said Brunson. Poker Hall of Famer Crandell Addington Reveals Secrets from Early Days of WSOP He left poker in 1980s to focus on a career in business. “I haven’t played in Vegas in years and years. When I retired I focused on my business enterprises,” Addington told PokerNews in 2020. “I don’t even play around San Antonio anymore, and they’ve got some really high-stakes games here now, which is what I like to play cash, no-limit high stakes.”
