Alec Torelli enjoyed quite a successful first WSOP last summer, cashing the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em with Rebuys event and finishing second in the $10,000 World Championship Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em event for which he banked a hefty $336,896. He followed that finish up with not one, but two first-place finishes at the Bellagio's Festa Al Lago Classic in October 2008, winning the $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $84,100 and two days later, taking down the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $120,715. Also a feared online player, Torelli regularly crushes high-stakes cash games under the screen name "traheho."
