Tournament Report

'Miami' John turned up the heat and by playing his hands 'al dente' (with just the right firmness) cooked up a 1st place victory in today's Omaha Hi/Lo event. 'Miami' John, as a Poker Connoisseur, you have all the right ingredients to satisfy our epicurean pleasures. Compliments to the chef!

Hey Lucy, this is no re-run, he placed 2nd! 'Ricky' Ricardo Festejo, took his vita veeta vegamin, which gave him the stamina he needed to concentrate on some very difficult Omaha Hi/Lo hands. And for all the available foxes out there, this bachelor is ready to do the rumba and go grape-stompin'...

He calculated and analyzed, analyzed and calculated until a firm deduction could be made...It is a valid statement that the tournament (whole) broken into one of it's component parts, (split), proves Greg Liley, a Systems Analyst to be the 3rd place finisher!

It's a sign of the times....shed the cape, no tights, the "S" is worn on the lapel, but Superwoman just the same.....Mariaelena shared a 3-way tie for 9th place, with Walt Williams and John Bushnell. She's a talented, accomplished pianist, a 3rd degree black belt and a poker player from South Philly. Eh, what can ya say, she's a Good Fella! -Paula Geletei
