\"CharlieThere are many stories of recreational poker players turning pro after starting out with little or nothing. Annette Obrestad<\/strong> and Tom Dwan<\/strong> are two of the best examples. <\/p>\n

One of the more recent cases of a player building a huge bankroll out of a small deposit is Charlie Carrel<\/a>. He deposited $15 into his PokerStars account and grew it into $500,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Carrel\u2019s rise started when he finished 1st and won $49 in a $1 buy-in 180-players sit and go event. He then began playing in 9-handed $1.50 buy-in sit and go\u2019s before moving up to $3.50 and $7 buy-ins. Carrel would switch to playing Zoom cash games before he left PokerStars<\/a> for Partypoker<\/a>. Then he went on a roll turning his $1,800 bankroll into over $60,000. After switching back to PokerStars, Carrel won $200,000 in the Sunday Million. After that, he started feasting on the competition in $2\/$5 Zoom games. Young Charlie also began to try his luck in live games and he started to win in that arena too.<\/p>\n

He cashed in on a couple of six-digit wins and then hauled in a whopping \u20ac1,114,000 in a \u20ac25,500 8-Handed High Roller at the 2015 EPT Grand Slam Final. He has gone on to win $6.2 million in live events.<\/p>\n
