Charlie Carrel, age 22, nicknamed 'Epiphany77', started his poker adventure about two years ago by depositing £10 into an online gambling account on PokerStars. Since then, he says he has garnered a sizeable fortune reaching more than £1.5 million. How it all started
The young poker player admits that he ‘got lucky' in the beginning. He said, 'Had I not won that first tournament, I would never have deposited again, and none of this would have happened.' Since Carrel did win that tournament, it allowed him to continue on his journey, competing in more online poker tournaments, exponentially building his bankroll along the way. When he managed to turn small bets into £1k worth of winnings, he decided to quit university and continue sharpening his poker talent. Though he is a college dropout, he actually isn't your average student. In fact, he was considered exceptional - earning four straight A stars on his A levels - an achievement that his family was very proud of. Of course, like most families, they weren't so keen on his idea of dropping out of college in order to pursue a poker profession with a mere £1k bankroll on hand. Carrel cleverly drew up charts describing the growth rate of his poker finances and he showed these to his parents, who were finally convinced that this was the right move for their son, since they believe he had great potential to become a success if he continued as a poker player. Carrel's achievements so far Online poker win - His biggest online poker win was when he finished as a runner up at the PokerStars $1mm GTD Sunday Million in January 2014, which was worth $175,758 (equal to GBP £133,000). Live event win - His biggest win actually was at a live event, the 2015 €25k EPT High Roller Grand Final in Monte Carlo held in May. He earned a whopping €1,114,000 (GBP £806,000). How he spent some of his winnings When he won £133,000 on the Sunday Million tournament, he spent a third of it on his close buddies. Carrel generously treated all 15 of his friends to an all-expense paid £60,000 trip in Amsterdam, which included staying at a five-star luxury hotel. Still humble as ever In an interview he quoted, 'money doesn't mean that much to me. It's all about the memories and experiences. Giving a taxi driver a large tip means more to me than spending it on a fancy meal.' When asked about his earlier years regarding playing online poker, he said, 'I have to pinch myself most days. I think about depositing that £10 a lot. It could easily have happened so differently for me.' He added, 'I think I have the potential to be one of the top players in the world. There are not too many people I would be worried about playing.' On September, Carrel was crowned Poker Listings' Rising Star Award 2015, an award that he did not actually collect in person mainly because he thought he did not believe he was going to win. source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/how-university-drop-out-turned-7269267 |

| Sounds good (1.) being a college dropout and (2.) being a millionaire at the same time - I achieved the first thing in 2009, the second one takes more time than it should - it seems to me... | ||

| If it is tue it is a very nice achievement for a school drop out. Is it another stars story in order to get a younger clients entering their site. It is very strange that we never heard of him as a very good poker player since he is also playing live. Sorry but i don't believe this nice story. | ||

| No no no and no, to all young people who are still studying and reading this... never quit your studies to make poker your full time and even if you win very big money, don't quit at least complete it. | ||

| really? quit studies to become a professional poker player where if you win anything over a million in your career makes you one of the best poker players, for a chance say to become a successful porn actor and earn millions while banging gorgeous chicks, or politician- where you earn millions by banging everyone that moves and is capable of being taxed... no no- keep on studying dudes and dudettes and don't listen to this bs by stars. | ||

I am truly sorry to break the news for you, but in 99% of today's porn the women get paid better than their male counterparts and they still get payed $hit compared to some other job which does not require this much physical toll on one's body. It's not that hard earning millions with an adult oriented business but actually u have to run the business itself rather then acting or just participating in it as a cuckold. Good luck superpochie, I hope u could get that 'ballshaving' .xxx. domain first to start building your empire on it. | ||

| What a wonderful story and one which gives us all hope for the future.... All we need is the ability to give up everything and play cards for a while before becoming a world champion. I'm not too bothered about the porn side of it, but the money would be nice. | ||
