I'm from the east coast originally. I spent a little bit of time living in Los Angeles but ended up moving back home because the life is more like me back there. I'm a quiet guy; I'm definitely not in your face or cocky. I am very laid back and easy to get along with.

A few months ago I was walking through the Amazon Room at the Rio hoping to find my next great story when I saw a beautiful brunette watching the 5K LH Final Table.

John Armbrust isn't your typical poker player, able to change gears and make aggressive plays at pots with any two cards as well as play a short stack like a master craftsman. When you look at the life decisions of the 2007 WSOP Main Event's 18th place finisher, he's not your typical person, either."I learned poker playing crazy games like Mexican Sweat.
