A Feature on Poker Pro Paul Wasicka

Poker pro Paul Wasicka is a total package of sorts with all the different things he was able to do at a very young age. This talented person has ventured into different fields and yet was able to achieve a good successful rate. Wasicka is a restaurant manager, bartender and professional poker player rolled into a single entity. What a pretty impressive record he got, considering his humble beginnings as a bartender.

Wasicka inched his way towards the top by trying his luck in the game that he loves to play so much. He has been playing professional poker for only three years. It is quite impressive to think how much he has already achieved considering the fact that his career is still very young.

In September 2004, Wasicka played in the No Limit Hold'em event of the Fall Poker Classic. For a starter, he finished quite impressive with a very respectable 11th place overall. After more than a year, he followed up this performance with a 22nd place finish in the same event. He did a wonderful job of maintaining a high percentage of wins in the poker circuit.

In April 2006, Wasicka finished 15th at the World Poker Tour No Limit Hold-em Championship event at the Five-Star World Poker Classic. This event sparked a good run for him in the international poker scene that ended in a World Series of Poker No Limit Hold-em Championship. In this victory, he took home a total prize of $6,102,499 after placing second at the event.

Just as the year 2006 was successful for Wasicka, the year 2007 proved to be the same. In January, he earned the 12th spot at the 2007 Crown Aussie Millions Championship. Then two months after, he reached the fourth spot of the World Poker Tour L.A. Poker Classic tournament.

After all the success Wasicka has been achieving, he made an impressive first place finish at the NBC National Heads Up Championship tournament. This was the best finish he has ever had in his very young career. Throughout all the major tournaments that he participated in, he never finished lower than the 24th place.

Wasicka's latest stint in a poker tournament was at the 38th Annual World Series of Poker. In this major event, he finished ninth overall in the No Limit Hold'em World Championship. Expect more big things to come for him as he continues to play in the most prestigious poker tournaments worldwide.
