Las Vegas, NV--Andrew Lichtenberger is one of poker's least-known millionaires. The 22-year-old professional player from East Northport, NY has already amassed in excess of $1.1 million in tournament winnings in what has been a strikingly brief poker career.  He burst upon the live tournament scene about midway through last year's World Series of Poker, where he finished in second place, just a whisker away from winning a gold bracelet in the $5,000 buy-in Shootout event.  A few weeks later, Lichtenberger proved once and for all he is an up-and-coming player to watch when he finished 18th in the WSOP Main Event.  The four-week run, which included five WSOP cashes, netted a nice profit of about $700,000.  Not bad for a month of poker playing.

  Tonight's Tuff-N-Uff fights from the Orleans Casino were jam packed with fast finishes and furious fights. Ten of the thirteen fights ended in the first round, and, in somewhat of a surprise, there were no actual KO's (only two TKO's due to strikes). What this meant for fans, was a spectacular night of very skilled amateurs finding their moment to pull off some slick submissions. In fact, one of the quickest submissions I have ever seen (27 seconds) came on the fight card as John Gettle pulled off a triangle choke against Erick Kapp. The most impressive thing was that the sub came from having to structure a perfect position so quickly. However, the best fight of the night was absolutely the main event between Jimmy Jones and Larry Mir.
