Poker pro
hopes to forge career in music
October 27
What is the deal
with people trading-in on one career to excel in another. It is
happening more and more these days. Online poker players have been
witnessing the onslaught of celebrities taking to the felt in order to
make a name for themselves among the poker pros. This time, we have a
poker player trying to be a music star. Hey, if it is meant to be its
meant to be. Why not?
30 year-old Tom Sartori from Buffalo is using his fame at the poker
table to boost his career onstage and in the recording business.
In fact, last week while in town competing with 450 other poker
players in the Doyle Brunson North American Poker Championship, he
said the media attention is nothing but good for his budding music
career. Even though he lost half-way throught the poker event,
online poker players have learned that he picked-up about twenty
grand in side games.
Sartori came in 26th from over 5,600 entries in Harrah's World
Series of Poker at the Rio over the summer. There, he won $300,000.
That money was used to hire a producer, a Latin Grammy-winning
mixer, and a publicist.
With the new hired help, Sartori created his first major album,
All In, which will be released in late December.
Since placing among the top holdem poker players in the world,
Sartori has become a target for every would-be poker player on
college campuses around the country.
After all, he was playing in a band before he was winning poker
games. Which came first, the poker or the music?
In fact, Sartori has been playing professionally since leaving
high school. In the early years he mostly played small clubs in and
around Buffalo.
Although his five-piece band mostly plays clubs and colleges in
the East, he has toured five countries and opened for such artists
as Meatloaf, 98 Degrees, Chuck Berry and Cheap Trick.
