Seat 2: Dave "Doc" Sands (1,360,000)
Dave ��Doc�� Sands may not be that well known in the live poker realm just yet, but he��s beginning to make a big name for himself with the results he puts up. Sands holds over $240,000 in live tournament winnings including four cashes at this year��s WSOP. Add those to the other four WSOP cashes he��s had over his career and he��s up to eight.
The largest score on Sands�� record comes from a $1,500 No-Limit Hold��em event at the Series this past summer. He final tabled the event, finishing in eighth place for over $67,000. Back in 2007, Sands scored his only and largest live win when he took down the $1,000 No-Limit Hold��em event at the March Madness Hold��em Tournament held at Turning Stone. He won over $54,000 for his victory there.
Where Sands is mostly known is in the online poker world. Sands plays under the monikers ��Doc Sands��, ��SexSeen�� and ��dsands25�� amongst a few others. Under those three online names, Sands has amasses himself nearly $2.5 million in career winnings. His largest cash came when he won FTOPS Event #10 on Full Tilt Poker in 2009 for $259,440. On average, Sands cashes for nearly $3,500 whenever he hits the money in an online tournament. That��s quite an amazing number if you consider how much lower the buy-ins are online compared to live events.
Prior to becoming a professional poker player, Sands worked in the Internet marketing business. He��s just 25 years old and hails from Bozeman, Montana although he now resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sands is also a member of the famed ��Brunson Ten�� �C a small group of elite poker players hand picked by the godfather of poker himself, Doyle Brunson.
