World Series Of Poker

Robert Salaburu made a notable 8th place in the WSOP 2012. A significant moment for Salaburu in this event was when he managed to get the chip lead count, at a time when there were only 27 players left.[4] When Robert reached the final table, he was 7th in chips with 15,155,000.[2]

Personal life

Fascinated and passionate about poker since the age of 16, Robert managed to transform his interest in poker into a career in 2005. During his many years of playing poker he suffered some big swings, especially in cash games, which were partly due to bankroll management issues.[5]

Robert was born and raised in San Benito, Texas, although he considers San Antonio as his hometown. He was brought up by a single mother, who divorced his father a year after Robert was born. Robert also has a brother who is 11 years older. He says of himself, "It's fair to say I'm a mama's boy. I'm the baby. Mama's boy for sure."[5]
