Poker career

After turning 21, Torelli moved to Las Vegas. During his first World Series of Poker (WSOP), he finished second in the $10,000 Heads Up event. Later that fall, Torelli won back-to-back events at the Bellagio. 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.
