Catonsville fellow Andrew Brokos has lived the dream in which thousands of poker wannabee stars will definitely never realise or experience, at one point Andrew was 2nd in the main event at the wsop and there were many side bets on him reaching the final 9. Even though it went a little bit wrong and his play really lost the plot he still walked away with over $190,000 when he ended up coming 35th. What really happened no one knows except Broko.

Andrew Brokos has revealed that the lure of major money was his downfall as his mind wandered to the thought of being in the last 9 and cashing in big time, when this happened many people noticed that his strong play had lapsed and they all seem to take advantage of the dreaming man. The problem was when he got on the ice slope who couldn’t stop the slide. Slowly but surely his big chip count started to whittle down but 35th is not an embarrassment from thousands of gamblers.

This experience has taught Andrew that the dream is still a dream but it was a good one while it lasted and maybe next year he can learn from it.
