At just 7 years old Guy Mercandante started gambling at his parent’s neighborhood poker game. By the time he was 9, he was memorizing cards and winning games with older teenagers while smoking and drinking coffee. As the years went on, the stakes got higher as he gambled in all night games while maintaining multiple day jobs.
