His journey to becoming a professional poker player began after Chris Moneymaker's historic 2003 WSOP win, which inspired Janetti to pursue a career in poker. He started his poker career in 2006 and dropped out of university after two years to focus on poker.
Janetti's largest cash win before the 2011 WSOP Main Event was $66,544 from a PLO tournament. His online poker username is hazards21.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype.
