Dewey Tomko
 Tomko was already making money with poker at age 16 in some Pittsburgh pool halls and was able to finance four years of schooling at Salem College. Tomko then went on to work as a kindergarten teacher where he continued to play poker every night and go right to the school in the morning, with or without sleep. The kids all survived and Dewey's game continued to make money - earning him more in one night then he'd make in a year of teaching. Cards carried him from a modest childhood to ownership of golf courses and casinos and to his current status as a poker patriarch who plays cards because he wants to, not because he needs to. |
