Andrew Brown made a splash in the live poker world back in 2008 when he took down a bracelet at the World Series of Poker. He entered the $2,000 Omaha 8 or better event and navigated through a field of 551 players to reach the final table. That final table included Ted Forrest, Ralph Perry, Scott Clements, and Jimmy Fricke. Ultimately, it was Brown and Forrest that battled heads-up for the bracelet. After a long see-saw battle, Brown emerged on top with his first WSOP bracelet and $226,483.
Later in the WSOP, Brown would cash in the Razz event. He admitted that he thought he would have had a better chance to win that event over the Omaha 8 or better event. After his run at the 2008 WSOP, Brown really wasn’t heard much of again until around November of 2009 when he took down the $25,000 buy-in PLO Heads-Up World Championship on Full Tilt Poker.

The PLO championship had 35 players show up to take a crack at a prize pool of $875,000. Brown navigated his way to round four where he faced red pro Justin Smith. He defeated Smith and took on PostflopAction in the semi-finals. PostflopAction fell short of the final and Harry “UgotaBanana” Kackza took on Brown in the finals. The two players made a chop before playing it out. Brown made short work of Kackza and took home $318,749.99 after the chop.

Brown has been quite active on the cash tables over on Full Tilt as well, in November into December, Brown worked his bankroll up to almost $700,000. A good chunk of that came on December 1st of 2009 when he had combined wins over $222,000. However, the turn of the new year has not been so kind to Brown as he has free fallen and given most of his bankroll back. He has lost over $680,000 to leave him with an anemic bankroll online of around $13,000. Of course, as is the nature of Omaha, he could turn that around in a hurry.

Andrew Brown has had success in Omaha in both the live and virtual poker worlds. Holding two major Omaha titles makes him among the strongest players in the game on the planet. At just 28 years of age, the sky is the limit for this up and coming player. Time will tell just how many titles this Omaha specialist will take down.
