“The one thing that I always wanted – for any poker player, this is it,” said Andrew Cohen after winning the first WSOP gold bracelet of 2009. “I told all these guys here, it’s not about the money to me, and I’m not even a rich guy. I’m a bartender. And, I don’t care about the money. You can always get money. It’s the bracelet that counts.”
