Saro Getzoyan

Saro Getzoyan is an American software engineer from Lexington, Massachusetts, of Armenian descent, who won a World Series of Poker bracelet in the 2007 5,000 dollar World Championship Limit Hold'em event. He earned an undergraduate degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a master's degree from New York University. Three weeks before the event he started a new job, and the night before the final table he worried that missing work might get him fired, so he arranged an alternative route home. Because he was not knocked out he missed his flight, and an hour after the tournament ended he was booking his return trip, saying that money does not change anything. His tournament winnings exceeded 350,000 dollars.
