Knowing when to make strategic decisions is key, whether at the poker table or in running a nonprofit organization.

Anselmo Villarreal, the CEO of Southwest Key Programs, has not only managed to secure $3 billion in grants from the Biden administration but has also established himself as a skilled poker player with total earnings of $801,484, ranking him 2,000th in the US, according to the poker database website Hendon Mob.

Villarreal’s poker success has seen a significant increase in earnings since taking on the role of president at Southwest Key. His biggest win came in February 2021, where he finished second in the DeepStack Extravaganza tournament with $253,441.

While Villarreal was raking in poker winnings, Southwest Key was receiving billions in grants to shelter unaccompanied migrant children. However, the organization faced scrutiny for alleged misuse of funds and employee misconduct, leading to a lawsuit from the Justice Department.

Despite the controversies, Villarreal’s salary saw a significant increase under the Biden administration, raising questions about the organization’s financial management and accountability.

In a recent statement, HHS announced a halt to placements of migrant children in Southwest Key facilities due to ongoing concerns, signaling a potential shift in the organization’s future operations.

Before Southwest Key, Villarreal was involved in nonprofit work at La Casa De Esperanza, where he focused on assisting Spanish speakers with English language tutoring. His background in community service and economic development highlights his dedication to supporting underserved populations.
