St. Louis Park Resident Makes WSOP's November Nine
Senti, a 2000 Grand Forks Red River graduate and University of North Dakota alum who currently lives in St. Louis Park, MN, has the smallest number of chips left among the November Nine with 7.62 million, more than 58 million less than Canadian chip leader Jonathan Duhamel. But, if Senti can outlast even one of the final nine, he will walk home a millionarie. And should he make it to the very end he would take home $8.94 million and a coveted World Series of Poker Bracelet.
“He is an incredibly intelligent and responsible kid,” his father Bruce Senti told The Fargo Forum. “He did things the right way. He put away enough money to give it a try. His employer let him take a leave of absence, but he never looked back. He was making substantially more money player poker, and frankly, he liked it better.”
Bruce also enjoys a good game of Hold'em. He plays regularly in the Dakota Poker League at the Southgate Casino Bar and Grill in Grand Forks on Tuesday nights and has been a supporter of the league since 2007.
