Tournament Report

Yo Coz, how ya doin? The only one missing from this final table was Tony Soprano himself. This is Carmine's first visit to Atlantic City, but thanks to his first place win today, it is a memorable one, so he'll be back with 'The Boys'. Carmine was groomed in the school yards of The Bronx. His poker career flourished as he successfully participated in the Foxwoods Tournaments, but heh,Atlantic City rules. Carmine, ya done good! We look forward to seeing more of you at the Taj. Here is another Bronx Bomber in Seat #6 and the only entrant at the final table that had to buy a vowel.... The come back kid, Allen "Detroit" Green, entering the final table with $8000. Allen and his wife happily travel to about 4 tournaments a year together. Bravo!...Is a Detroit Haircut anything like a pompadour? Anyway, Nolan, rumor has it, Allen is the greatest poker spectator in the world, and we'd all love to hear about it. Get a cool name and things look up. "Miami" John founder of kool names, finished 3rd in this Stud event. Though he resides in Vegas, he's Jersey City through and through. Well, part Jersey City and part Northern Italian, since he lived around Pisa when he served in the army. That explains his kind, gentle manly charm. Buona Fortuna and may you visit Rome again.
