Freddy is a 46 year old professional poker player that just won his third World Series of Poker bracelet at the 2005 event. Freddy came to the United States by way of Iran in 1983. He had a career as an executive host at the LA Commerce Casino and as a shift manager at Hollywood Park Casino before he decided to take poker up as his full time profession. He is considered a relative newcomer to the tournament circuit even though he has three bracelets, but he is making up for his lost time by becoming a fixture at final tables across the country.
