19-year-old wins PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

[The Buzz]

For a kid who can't legally drink in the United States for two years, Harrison Gimbel is doing quite well for himself.

The 19-year-old from Juniper, Florida won the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event yesterday and took home a cool $2.2 million dollar first place prize. He is the youngest winner of the PCA Main Event.

From Poker-King.com:

Gimbel (known as "gibler321" on Pokerstars), qualified for the main event through a $1,000 live satellite.

One week later, and Gimbel is now a millionaire at the ripe old age of 19.

Gimbel's road to victory wasn't an easy one, as he had to make his way through the largest field in the history of the PCA main event. The field was loaded with sharks as well, as Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Tom "durrrr" Dwan were just some of the names that chose to take part.

Sick $2.2m at 19 years old, mum and dad thought he had gone to a friends house for the weekend and then he pays of the Lexus and the mortgage for them....

Good for him. Heck of a start. I am sure this is not the last time we will be seeing Harrison Gimbel at the tables.

19 year olds are in the news these days, winning millions and dipping first ministers wives

dipping first ministers wives

That sounds very "across the seas" for this little Kansas boy.

You don't want to be dipping any ministers wives around here cause if he don't get you in this life ...

Great to see you BP, I hope we're good, haven't heard from you in ages. and I thought I had wormed my way into your heart.

And I think I'd trade all that you can do physically at 19, (admittedly begrudgingly), for living long enough to see what those kids are going to see because I have a feeling our kids will live to see a world as different as my Grandfather saw his world go from horse and buggy, to literally living to see the concorde do its thing, space shuttles etc.

Think of that contrast, and then think of how speeded up computers have made the world of the invention. we'll live to see some wild stuff but they'll see stuff right out of star trek (only everything will be nano-sized)

carry your big screen tv in your pocket that sort of stuff. Oh wait, already doing that aren't they? (see the tvs that can be rolled up like a poster)

Hey mate

Not just any first ministers wife but the wife of the first minister of Northern Ireland, and by first minister i mean the head of the Northern Ireland Government.

And we all know the history of Northern Ireland and this particular leader was up to his neck in all the "troubles"

Either a dumb or very lucky 19 year old.

Yeah your right the world will be so much different in 20-30 years time, hopefully for the better and like you i look forward to seeing it.

I will send you a PM mate shortly so we can catch up in more detail.

At 19 i think $2.2m is going make a bit of a mess of his life at least he has 2 more years until he can get served in a bar...
