Aaron Kanter from Lodi, CA is a mortgage broker by day. However, his real passion is professional poker, where he spends most of his time and efforts. Kanter is a true student of the game and the math involved in it.
In only his fifth live tournament ever, Kanter managed to weave his way through a field of over 5,600 players to make the final table of the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event. Once there, Kanter was able to pull out a fourth place finish and earn himself $2,000,000 in prize money.
Since that accomplishment, the poker world has seen less and less of Kanter as he switched his focus to online play, where he has been quite successful.
