Meet Run Good Pro Bryan Campanello

Bryan Campanello

Bryan is 21 years old from Southlake, Texas. Lucky enough to grow up in the Moneymaker era, he started playing small stake poker games with friends in seventh grade and got hooked on poker after watching the WSOP Main Event on ESPN.

"Poker fuels my competitive nature, much like sports and other competitive events I enjoy. My goal is to continue to improve, make deep runs in tournaments and be the best player I possibly can," says Campanello. "Currently, I am a part time student at UNT studying Political Science. I am trying to balance college and poker for now, because it is a goal of mine to obtain a college degree. The concept of having others tell me what to do or where to be at a specific time has never fit my personality. Poker gives me the opportunity to be my own boss and pick my own hours."

He went on to say: "I feel very lucky to have found this game at such a young age. I started playing more seriously online when I was 18 and was fortunate to also play quite a bit of live poker in 18+ casinos in Oklahoma and Florida. I realized poker can give me the opportunity not to work in an office and the freedom to travel the world whenever I want. In my young career, I have already played poker in Ireland, the Bahamas and across the United States. The combination of poker events, travel and working on my game has easily become the full focus in my life."

Campanello is in action here in Council Bluffs, so rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on him here in the live blog.
