Valentin Vornicu won the Casino Championship at the final World Series of Poker Circuit stop, which just ended at Harrah’s Rincon, near San Diego.
I have a special appreciation for Vornicu, who was born in Bucharest, Romania — where I lived for a few years. He has been residing and working in the United States since 2007. Yet he speaks perfect English (almost no accent). He’s also an accomplished math expert.
Check out Vornicu’s Wikipedia Page here:
Vornicu founded a website called Math Links, which encourages the study and mastery of math. In fact, he’s the Director of Faculty.
Vornicu won his second WSOP Circuit title here in San Diego, and came in second tonight in yet another event. Yet he only plays poker part-time.
I have great respect for people with a passion. Vornicu has many passions, and just as many talents. I expect to hear and see him do many interesting things in the future.
