Consequently, we at PokerNews, think we should elaborate a little more on the man they call 'Tahoe'.
Hailing from Walnut Creek, California, Andrew first came to public attention when he captured two bracelets in 1976 in a $1,000 and $2,500 No Limit Holdem event for a $23,000 and $28,000 win-fall respectively.
Since then, Andrew has played every WSOP Main Event for the past 35 years while collecting seventeen total cashes including four Main Event in-the-money finishes including an 8th placing in 1984 to Jack Keller.
35 years WSOP experience, two bracelets and over $1,200,000 in tournament earnings sure puts Howard 'Tahoe' Andrew in an elite class of WSOP veterans that not too many can match.
Sitting with just over 22,800 in chips, Andrew will be looking to add another cash to his impressive poker CV.
