Because 21 is the minimum legal age for gambling in almost all jurisdictions in the United States, Shorr was forced to go abroad to compete, where he cashed in several tournaments. He scored his first major payday with a fourth-place finish at the 2006 Aussie Millions tournament in Melbourne, Australia, where he won more than $200,000.〔http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/04/post_49.html〕 During much of this time, Shorr was a civil engineering student at the University of Alabama.〔http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/04/post_49.html〕 == Poker == As of November 2013, Shorr was ranked #6 on the Global Poker Index's GPI 300 list that ranks tournament poker players worldwide. In December 2013 he was honored at #7 on GPI's "Poker Player of the Decade" list.〔http://www.globalpokerindex.com/gpi-300/〕 Shorr has amassed multiple tournament cashes worldwide each year including 36 World Series of Poker cashes of which seven were final tables. He has made four World Poker Tour final tables. Shorr withdrew from The University of Alabama to play poker professionally in 2006 but returned for the fall semester of 2008 and stated in his blog that he received a 3.73 and 3.33 GPA for the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 semesters. He graduated in 2010.〔http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/07/alabama_grad_shannon_shorr_rea.html〕 Shorr's live tournament winnings exceed $5,600,000. His 36 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,424,720 of those winnings.〔(World Series of Poker Earnings ), worldseriesofpoker.com〕 During the 2015 WSOP, Shorr cashed for a personal-best 8 times out of 31 tournaments. However, with no significant cashes, this amounted to but a small profit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shannon Shorr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
