YIR: The Smart Bet’s on Brodzki
“It’s been six months since I took the plunge at professional poker, and I’m excited to continue the journey."
After 37 years with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and now with the AJT, , Jaffe’s focus is lifestyle, art, dining, fashion, and community events with emphasis on Jewish movers and shakers.
Jewish-oriented fundraiser-turned professional gambler Marcus Brodzki was overwhelmed by the response to the AJT article, “Jewish Fund Raiser Raises Stakes with Poker,” and said, “I was energized and shocked by the reaction from the many Atlanta Jewish Times readers. It has been heartwarming to hear from so many in our community.”
And now he’s adding a coaching wing to his brand. Since the article was published, he secured his first finish “in the money” at a World Series of Poker circuit event in August, finishing 96th out of 2,500 entries and most recently finishing 78th out of 1,300 entries at another tournament in November.
Additionally, he recently co-chaired the ORT America charity poker tournament, alongside Steven Cohen and Nata Saslafsky, at which over $3,000 in support of ORT America was raised with more than 30 tournament participants.
Brodzki stated, “It’s been six months since I took the plunge at professional poker, and I’m excited to continue the journey.
