Meet Fearless River Instructor…
Andrew Lichtenberger aka "LuckyChewy" is one of the best all-around poker players in the game today. Prior to becoming a household name on the live tournament circuit, LuckyChewy played successfully online, with over $3 million in earnings. Andrew stepped into the live tournament arena in 2007, then made headlines in 2009 when he finished 13th in the $25,000 WPT Championship event. He's reached six WSOP final tables, is the winner of the prestigious $100,000 buy-in WPT Alpha8 Las Vegas, placed 3rd in the largest ever WPT Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event, and finished runner-up in the 2019 WSOP $50,000 High Roller for $917,232.
Since then, Chewy has continued to add to his resume, taking down the 2022 Seminole Hard Rock High Roller event, the PokerGO Poker Masters High Roller, and the 2023 PGT Poker Masters, along with a runner-up finish in the PGT Super High Roller Bowl VIII for $1.68 Million. He opened the 2026 season by defending his PGT Kickoff title for his eighth career PGT win, then claimed a ninth title at the 2026 PokerGO Cup, cementing his place among the winningest players in PGT history.
Off the felt, Andrew's approach to health and meditation shapes how he plays. He is a big believer in measuring personal success against itself and focusing on the process of progress as opposed to comparing your success to the success of others. Andrew’s positive mentality and his ability to dominate both tournaments and cash games, makes him among one of the most feared and inspiring players in the game today.
