Eric is coming off of a win and his first bracelet at the World Series of Poker. Eric took down an impressive field to win the $1500 Limit Hold'em event. He made World Series of Poker history with his win as he became the youngest player to ever win a World Series bracelet. Eric started playing poker just a year and a half ago he put most of his focus towards playing online and in a few select tournaments. He dropped out of college a couple of months before the World Series and he started to play poker full time. He was on the Magic professional tour and many of the friends he made playing on that tour went on to become professional poker players. It was partially that influence and the knowledge that his friends were making millions of dollars playing poker that made his decision to leave school an easier one. He has spent a lot of time with his good friend David Williams working on his poker game to get ready for his professional career. Apparently the time he has put in is working well for him, he is another young gun that is entering the pro circuit and making an immediate impact.
