Joey Gargiulo, known in poker circles as "Uncle Joey The Poker Wizard," hails from Bensonhurst, NY, and grew up on Long Island. He currently resides in North Las Vegas where he settled after spending a few years on the poker circuit. Joey has been playing poker since he was five years old, transitioning from home games to underground New York games, then becoming an online player and cash game specialist. He ventured into live tournaments four years ago and has amassed nearly three hundred thousand dollars in tournament winnings.
Gargiulo's most significant poker achievement to date was a forty-eight thousand dollar payday for a tenth place finish in the Choctaw WPT Main Event, after winning his way in via a $200 satellite. Outside of playing, Joey is a poker author, intuitive poker coach, and spiritual guide. Despite the challenge of going blind multiple times in his life, he continues to make his mark in the poker world.
