Andrew Lichtenberger continues his remarkable transformation in all aspects of his life after winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet in Event #52: $3,000 No-Limit Hold’em.

Andrew Lichtenberger didn’t always look like Gandalf. Not that long ago he looked like your average online grinder wearing more patches than a Formula 1 driver with the baseball cap to boot.
