The "Kandinsky" of Poker

Congratulations Jesse Martin "A well know east coast poker player"... This evening Jesse is the proud winner of 2007 WPT Belagio Championship. This was one of the $2,500 no-limit hold'em tournaments leading up to the WSOP. This is Jesse's largest cash win in any poker tournament, live or online. One of the biggest perks of the win, besides the cash, is that he has a free entry into the $25,000 WPT main event. Wow The story on the street is that Al Krux, his mentor, was at his side while the final table unraveled. I however, was watching the live updates on Cardplayer.com

The final hand, Jesse had A-4, and his opponent had K-8. Jesse spiked an Ace on the river to secure the hand with 2 pair, and his first gold bracelet!

Jesse's online persona is "Mazeorbowie" but after this win, my new personal nickname for him is "The Kandinsky Of Poker"

Kandinsky was born in moscow in 1866, and died in 1944. He was considered to be "The founder of abstract art" A few of his famous works are featured below.
