Survivor casted another poker pro among its cast-aways.
Garrett Adelstein, 27, an online and cash game specialist who has done training work with Deuces Cracked, will take part in Survivor 28: Cagayan.
Adelstein has over $122,000 in career lifetime live tournament earnings. He’s known as Gman online.
Garrett follows Jean Robert-Bellande and Jim Rice as poker player Survivor-ites. David Williams auditioned and was almost chosen years ago, and Daniel Negreanu was rumored as a contestant before JRB.
Not to get all judgey, but looking at his CBS Survivor page bio, Garrett has a little bit of dbag in him, which should make for interesting TV:
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? One big picture of all the people closest to me in my life to prevent loneliness, one long chain email between myself and my four best friends for endless hilarity, and a naked picture of a girl I enjoy hooking up with, in case all the attractive girls get voted off early.
Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Win enough money to impress girls in LA; self-growth as I will be forced to deal with extreme circumstances in a way I never imagined possible.
We see opening a string of failed tanning salons in Garrett’s future…
