Live Reporter

PokerNews Live Reporter Claudio Elizalde is originally from Tucson, Arizona but has since made a home in Eugene, Oregon.

A nose for good food and libations led Claudio to over 15 years in the service industry, working every position from dishwasher to General Manager along the way.

The native Tucsonan stumbled across poker in the summer of 2012 while watching an old World Series of Poker rerun on ESPN late one night. Since then, Claudio has traveled to card rooms from California to Texas and has been on Global Poker’s Stream Team since 2020. He is known for his love of the Pot Limit Omaha variants.

When Claudio isn’t writing, playing poker, or starting a business, he likes to unwind by going out to a comedy show or for a few matches of pinball against his wife.
