2007 World Poker Challege (WPT event in Reno)

Most of these pictures are really terrible because they were taken with my cell phone camera and it took really terrible pictures. If you saw this episode of World Poker Tour there are several times when you can see me in the audience.

Some of these pictures were taken during the boot camp that I attended and I highly recommend if you are serious about playing poker professionally

2 million dollars in cash!


Final table winner J.C. Tran and $2 million


Mike Sexton, WPT announcer. I ended up playing at the same table with Mike and T.J Cloutier for nearly 6 hours. Unfortunately I got a little impatient with A K Unsuited and was busted by the guy to my left who had a pair of 8's.

My favourite memory from this trip was bowling with some of the greatest poker players in the world. That night Mark Seif and Mike Sexton were betting $5,000 a frame that Mark couldn't bowl and hit either one of the back two corner pins without hitting any other pin. Mark, the bowler lost $25,000 and to break even he bet Mike that he couldn't bowl a 140 in a suit and tie. Mike took the bet and sadly bowled a 139....It was very exciting.

  1. It is so very sad that I have to find your blog through Brandi's! I'm your sister for crying out loud! :O)
    Do they ever play the rerun of the 2007 WPT? I'd like to watch it and see if I can spot you in the audience!
