Tournament Report

Chris got a bite! When he drops his bait, he pulls in striper, but today Chris Tsiprailidis hooked a first place at the the Trump Classic Stud Event. Two watches later, and 4 days ago, this grandpa won the Omaha H/L Split Event. When tough poker players reveal that they're dads, their eyes turn to sparkle and their hearts all royal flush!
When the sun's comin' up he's got cakes on the griddle...Married 47 years to a beautiful wife, has 5 successful children and 9 grandchildren...Dr Willard Noyes hunts, fishes, has enjoyed scuba diving and flying, not to mention 3 consecutive days at the final table. A 2nd place finish in the Trump Classic Event brings sunshine on his shoulders. Yes..he's a country boy!
"If they could see him now, that old gang of his..." Hey, to the boys at the Bobcat and hey to the crew at Green Valley, Chester Rudisill places 3rd in his first tournament ever. Lover of both kinds of music in the world, country AND western. So, how do you like him now?!
