A poker story
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2010 10:45 am
I get ccsvi testing at the Hubbard Foundation next week in San Diego and will keep you posted regarding results.
This week I played in the WSOP Main event in Las Vegas and finished 85th out of over 7000 participants for $80,000. I also got a sponsorship deal while going deep in the event to bring my week to $100,000. The coolest part of this is that I was at the ESPN main feature table for 2 hours on day 5 and 5 hours on day 6. This means that I got some attention because of my disability while finishing deep in the tourney and got to help elevate MS awareness for us all because in addition to the hands I played that will be on TV, ESPN did a full length interview with me which should air. I did 2 magazine interviews and was involved in 4 tv interviews-most by ESPN. Here is the link to an article that came out yesterday; http://online.casinocity.com/article/ws ... son-100602
Hopefully I return in a year using a cane
