Casino and Scoring Card Games

Alex Borteh, listed on Wikipedia as Alexander Borteh, is a professional poker player who won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the 3,000 dollar Limit Hold'em event. He has cashed in four WSOP events and made two final tables, including a third place finish in the 1,500 dollar Limit Hold'em Shootout in 2005, and he prefers limit hold'em to no-limit hold'em because he considers the former a game that requires more skill. Before turning to poker he finished second at the 2001 World Championship for Magic: The Gathering, the tournament in which fellow bracelet winner David Williams was disqualified because of marked cards. He graduated from Olentangy High School in Lewis Center, Ohio, in 2001 and earned a philosophy degree from Ohio State University. By 2008 his live tournament winnings exceeded 320,000 dollars.
