Tournament Report

The poker beast is growing in the east! About 2 months of practicing on tournament software prepared Brian Giordano for today�s No-Limit Hold�em event. At 11:00am, Brian was a $5-10 Hold�em player from the Taj and by 11:00pm, the captor of 1st place in this prestigious event. Quite an accomplishment for this network administrator! Contributing to Brian�s inspiration is his 3 year old son Travis, and Debbie, brid Travis na Sharing his future bride, who stood right by him throughout the entire event. The couple is planning an April wedding and today�s winnings will send them on a very nice honeymoon cruise. Best wishes!

This management consultant had a cheering section of his own, consisting of his poker buddies and golfing companions. Richard Pannell�s 16 year old son is an aspiring hold�em player, who today will be very proud of his dad, especially because this is his first tournament and he wrapped it up with up with a strong 2nd place finish.

Ladies and gentlemen, placing 3rd... a real crowd pleaser and one of Taj�s own well liked and well respected hold�em players.....Robert Armstrong. Not only does Bob work two full time jobs, operating his own embroidery business, but he has been playing poker as a hobby for about 5-6 years. Bob has been in about 4 tournaments, but none can compare to the USPC No-Limit Hold�em and the monster pot he won with a pair of sixes! Kick back and take a day off Bob, you deserve it!
