Byron Kaverman is a professional poker player who made his first live-event cash in 2008. In the first 3 years, he cashed 13 times, made 8 final tables, won an event, cashed at the WSOP 3 times, and earned $800,000.
Born in 1987, Byron was raised in Ohio, where he still lives. He started playing poker in 2005 and continued playing while attending Tiffin University where he studied psychology.
At the 2008 WSOP, Byron made his first live event cash when he finished 37th for $7,311 in the $3,000 NLHE. His other cash that year came while he was in Las Vegas. He finished 6th to earn $10,390 in the $1,000 NLHE at the Bellagio Weekly Tournament.
As of October, Byron had cashed 11 times in 2011. His first cash in almost 3 years was at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, where he won the $5,000 NLHE 8-Max to collect $320,840. At the EPT Copenhagen, Byron was runner-up in the NLHE Turbo Bounty event for DKr73,530 before cashing at the EPT Grand Final Madrid.
At the 2011 WSOP, Byron cashed twice, with his best finish being 10th in the $1,500 NLHE to earn $38,839. He also cashed at the Bellagio Cup, finishing 8th for $16,450 in the $5,000 NLHE event. A month later, he was at the Florida State Poker Championships in Pompano Beach, to finish 3rd in the $5,300 NLHE Championship Event to take home $144,650.
At the WPT Grand Prix de Paris at the Rendez-Vous à Paris in September, Byron finished 4th in the €7,500 NLHE for €155,550, and took 6th in the €3,000 NLHE at the Partouche Poker Tour Cannes for €21,500.
In October, Byron cashed twice at the EPT/UK & Ireland Poker Tour in London. He earned £6,250 when he placed 13th in the £2,000 NLHE, and finished 7th in the £400 NLHE Turbo Bounty for £1,400.
Byron loves to travel, which suits his career as a poker pro. When he takes a break from poker, he enjoys hanging out with his family and friends, and is also an avid soccer player and skier.
