Andrew Cohen (born c. 1969) [1] is an American bartender at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, who won a World Series of Poker bracelet at the 2009 $500 Casino Employees No Limit Hold'em. Cohen entered the 2009 WSOP intending to participate in five events, 3 $1,500 events, the $1,000 "Stimilus Special", and the $500 Casino Employees No Limit Hold'em events. After winning his bracelet, he indicated a desire to participate in the Main Event. [1] Cohen was the first bracelet winner ever honored with a new tradition at the WSOP, the bracelet was presented at center stage with the winner's national anthem being performed. [1]
Cohen said, "I told all these guys here, it's not about the money to me, and I'm not even a rich guy. I'm a bartender. And, I don't care about the money. You can always get money. It's the bracelet that counts." [2]
Prior to the 2009 WSOP, Cohen had played in seven WSOP tournaments but failed to cash in any of them. At the 2007 WSOP, Cohen was responsible for busting ten-time bracelet winner Doyle Brunson in the Main Event. [3]
