Rising High: The Drew Gonzalez Journey with Americas Cardroom
Ditching his regular job back in 2010, Drew Gonzalez has since rallied to win nearly a million dollars from poker tournaments. Yet, he often speaks of “not evolving into the powerhouse player I believed I was capable of” as a pivotal setback in his journey. It’s precisely this blend of grit and self-motivation that makes Gonzalez a standout contributor to the Americas Cardroom roster since his start in 2020.
Hailing from Pennsylvania, the individual who identifies as a “full-time poker player and streamer”, has dedicated considerable time and energy to cultivating an online fan base. Although his Twitch and YouTube channels have flourished, it was Bill Perkins who originally offered Gonzalez a significant opportunity. Through consistent participation on the Thirst Lounge, he expanded both his bankroll and his online viewership.

However, it wasn’t until 2021 that Gonzalez truly made his mark.
Finishing 106th in the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2021 fetched him a personal record payout of $50,900. Close on its heels was a triumph at the Orleans Fall Poker Series, bagging him another handsome sum of $46,843. Moreover, a significant payday ensued in 2021 during the WSOP Online, where he clinched 5th place in the Grand Finale, walking away with $38,800.
