A relative amateur to the world of poker, Cristian Avendano serves as the general manager for Unique, Inc. Prior to entering corporate America, Avendano spent several years as a naval officer – a product of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. Having cashed twice thus far in preliminary events here in Rincon, Avendano is already guaranteed to add the biggest win of his career to his short, yet formidable list of poker achievements.
