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, he 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.
