Doctoral Candidate Wins $1.5 Million in Poker

A 22-year-old doctoral candidate in mathematics at Penn State took a nice trip to the Bahamas to play in a poker tournament, and returns home a millionaire. Ryan Daut took part in the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in Nassau. Daut, who hails from New Jersey, outlasted 936 players to win. Using his math skills was a big part of the game for Daut, and it's something that he is used to as he says that online poker is how he makes a living. Now that he has a huge bankroll, Daut is going to move up his stakes when playing online.
