Poker Odds Favorite Over Law Career

For Dustin Dirksen, life has been about the law and poker. A law student whose grades took a bad beat to his burgeoning poker career, Dirksen discovered online poker and soon was playing from his laptop in the law school library. Just 26, Dirksen has had wild swings in the realm of poker, but has become successful enough to build a house worth hundreds of thousands and have a nice six figure buffer in his online poker account. The online poker pro recently won $250,000 in the first few weeks of the new year, and has his sights set on clearing a million this year, while his legal career is still a big question mark.
