Noli Francisco is living his own version of the American Dream. He was born in Cebu, Phillipines, but he now lives in New York City. Since moving to the United States, Francisco has worked as an architect, a real estate entrepreneur, and an importer. Francisco began playing poker more than 25 years ago, mostly in the private clubs of New York City. His tournament statistics show Francisco has made a good bit of money playing Seven Card Stud, Omaha, and Texas Hold 'em. He's been cashing in major tournaments all across the U.S. since the early nineties, but he's largely flown below the radar in the poker world despite numerous second and third place finishes in the World Series of Poker. All that changed when Francisco struck it big on the World Poker Tour. In Season Two, Francisco won the Borgata Poker Open, claiming the $470,000 first prize. Later that same year, he took second place in the WPT Battle of Champions II at The Bicycle Casino. That final table appearance came with bragging rights instead of cash. Francisco has won more than $1.3 million in live poker tournaments during his career.
