FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 PCA 2012: Amateur John Dibella wins main event, $1,775,000One week out of every year, the Atlantis resort is the home office of hundreds of professional poker players. For John Dibella, his wife Wendy, and their two girls, it's no office. It's a regular vacation spot. This week, Dibella's children are at home in New York going to school. He was here just to have a little fun. In other words, he didn't come here to work. Nevertheless, he's leaving with a major poker championship and life-changing money."I'm overwhelmed. It feels so surreal, and I can't believe it's happening," he said. "I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow."They aren't the words we normally hear from a PokerStars Caribbean Adventure champion. In the minds of almost every past PCA title-holder, it was only a matter of time before they had multi-million-dollar bankrolls. In other words, most of the previous champions here considered it their job to win. Dibella just considered it fun. Dibella is a 43-year-old day trader from New York who likes to dabble in poker. Until today, his largest live cash was $16,000 at a previous PCA. Today, after a heads-up deal with professional Kyle Julius, Dibella won the 2012 main event title and $1,775,000.Asked about how this compared to his normal work life, Dibella said, "I made more doing this, but I'm not going to call myself a professional."CONTINUED AT LINK ABOVE Link to post Share on other sites
