The Beat Rolls On

Pete Giordano is sitting behind a massive stack of 25,000 right now. And we aren't surprised, because Giordano was one of the biggest forces in online poker during the poker boom.

Giordano, known as "The Beat" in online circles, was once given the distinction as the best online poker player in the world by a popular online poker forum. He's also had some live success in his career, cashing four times at the World Series of Poker — three times in the Main Event.

If there's an early favorite in this massive field, I think we've found him.
