Andrew Touchette (Wakefield, MA)

The last time Andrew Touchette (Wakefield, MA) was featured on the blog, he was part of a deal that ended Event 2 of the Isle Poker Classic ($360 No Limit Hold'em).  Andrew received third place money from that deal ($18,430), which was the second largest cash of his tournament career.  The accomplished tournament professional has over $258,000 in live tournament earnings, spanning (10) years and (79) recorded results.  He has since cashed in the Coco Poker Showdown (Event 1) and WSOPC at Palm Beach Kennel Club (Event 1 "Monster Stack"), but the most enjoyable point since mid-January...his Patriots completing the greatest comeback most of us have ever seen!  Andrew heads our first wave of notables, which also includes:
