Glenn Blackledge – Spring 2009

Prize: Trip to Las Vegas and World Series of Poker Tournament Entries.

During the Vegas trip I was walking through the casino surrounded by the pros from television like Greenstien, Cloutier, Mattisow, Reem, and Mizrachi. Throughout the day I had some ups and downs but the best part of the trip was the last tournament I entered. Luck of the draw there happened to be three local pros at my table. I raised on the button with 5,4 off suit and got two callers. One of which was a local pro who had cashed that same day for just over twenty three thousand. The flop came A, Q, 9. Player 1 raised, player two called and I went over the top with 5,4 and pushed them off their hands. I showed the bluff and stayed in to finish heads up with him to chop the prize pool. That’s my favorite poker moment so far. We’ll see who gets the next opportunity in our league and I hope they win the whole thing.
