An online poker player since the age of 19, Marco “CrazyMarco” Johnson lived out a poker player’s dream. The 21-year-old dropped out of Chico State, became a professional player, and traveled all over the world. The icing on the cake was when he moved Las Vegas and took up residence with one of the best players in the game, Jared “TheWacoKidd” Hamby.

Johnson has been on fire as of late, and he recently took second in the Absolute Poker $100K Pro Bounty Guarantee, featuring one of the toughest final tables in recent memory. Johnson beat out: Jon “PearlJammer” Turner, Jordan “scarface_79” Smith, Matt “mattg1983” Graham, and Steve “gboro780” Gross to take second behind Scott “SCTrojans” Freeman, good for a $21,800 cash. He also took down the Bodog Sunday $100,000 guarantee for $25,000 and an Absolute Poker Saturday $150,000 guarantee for $41,250.

Johnson has branched out into the live circuit, and already has over $100,000 in lifetime winnings. Two great players living together will only make them better. Look for Johnson to make big scores in the near future.
