Abe Mosseri from New York, NY won Event 55, $2,500 Limit Deuce to Seven Triple Draw, at the 2009 World Series of Poker, and took home $165,521 in prize money.

Mosseri is a 36-year-old professional poker pro who started out as a backgammon player.  He also played gin rummy for money in clubs in New York.

"I am a math guy. But I would not say I am a calculus genius, or anything.  I do put a lot of math into poker, certainly more than most people. You know from math which hands to play, and which hands to get involved with based on the percentages.  It's very important," Mosseri said after the tournament.
