Abraham MosseriThe 2009 World Series of Poker $2,500 buy-in Deuce-to-Seven Triple Draw Lowball (Limit) champion is Abe Mosseri, a 36-year-old professional poker player from New York, NY. Mosseri started out as a backgammon player. He also played gin rummy for money in clubs in New York but began playing poker seriously as backgammon declined in popularity and as poker became the new phenomenon. He noted that several backgammon players have converted to become serious poker players. On how backgammon helped him become a better poker player: “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.”
