“I started playing poker in high school for fun, mostly for pennies and all kinds of studs. In college, I really started to take it seriously, ”commented Berkey. “The Moneymaker boom took the world by storm, and being a baseball player, I always played in the back of the bus. It didn't take long for these games to move into higher stakes at the casino and finally embarked on a career in the industry. Events such as WCP Champions they didn't exist then, but I would have given my best to learn and compete with my peers at the time. "
