How Andrew Wayman Turned $11 Into $36,500 at the PCA
There are 24 players left in the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) Main Event with the poker world buzzing about retired Brazilian football legend and current PokerStars SportsStar Ronaldo's deep run ending with a 26th place finish, along with who will ultimately win the tournament for the $1,491,580 top prize.
The PokerStars blog titled PCA 2015: Andrew Wayman out, turning $11 into $36,560 discusses another interesting story of how Andrew Wayman invested some pocket change into an online qualifier which ultimately resulted in a 30th place finish at the PCA Main Event along with a nice payday.
This story is one many of us can relate and strive for. While Wayman fell short of hitting a seven digit payday, $36,560 and a week in the world-class Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas for $11 is something many players would be proud for.
Discover on the PokerStars blog how Andrew Wayman turned $11 into a huge payday.
