Alec Michael Torelli (born March 24, 1987), also known by his moniker Traheho, is a professional poker player from Orange County, California, who specializes in live high stakes cash games.
The next summer, he placed sixth in the commemorative $40,000, 40-year anniversary WSOP event, and fourth in the World Poker Tour at the Bellagio.
[4] In 2017, members of the 2+2 forum initiated a debate on whether or not Alec Torelli engaged in angle shooting during a hand played in the fourth episode of the fifth season of Poker Night in America,[5][6] that aired on CBS Sports Network the previous year.
Later, professional poker player Doug Polk released a video questioning the ethics of the hand played during the episode.
[6] Torelli was defended by poker professionals Daniel Negreanu,[13] Brian Rast[14] and Charlie Carrel,[15] who deemed the controversy to be disproportionate and unfair.
