You NEVER know who you will be sitting with when you play in the World Series of Poker! Allen Ollila from Liquid Assets in Dickinson, North Dakota (pictured right wearing hat) recently realized the new World Series of Poker champion, Ryan Reiss, looked a familiar! Little did Allen (or anyone else at that table) know the player to his right, Ryan Reiss ("Reiss The Beast" pictured left) would go on to become rich and famous, winning $8.4 million dollars being crowned the World Champion live on ESPN! Who knew?!!
Nice article from Detroit Lakes Online about the league: Poker Night is Popular at Area Bars
Tyson Evensen (pictured left) from West Sand Lake, NY had an opportunity to play two state championships within days of each other. The first was Pennsylvania where he and Joe Pollack were the top two to win a spot at the National Championship on November 15th. The next was the bigger state championship in New York where the top 8 qualified. Tyson continued his poker prowess and qualified again gaining a double stack at Nationals. Wow, well done Tyson!
