If you ask this man - with a larger-than-life personality - how he attacks the game of poker, he'll tell you, "I am not afraid to put my money out there, and sometimes you just need to let players know who is the boss." If you want to mess with Amir Vahedi, it's going to cost you. Vahedi is a 44-year-old native of Iran who resides in Southern California and began playing poker in 1997.
Vahedi won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the 2003 $1,500 no-limit hold'em event.
