Hi Fatfish:
The only face I think I recognized was Chris Reslock, who is a poker pro and
has won a WSOP circuit event in AC. I saw him on TV playing in a Tournament of
Champions vs. Daniel Negreanu, Mike Madisow etc. recently.
We were at the same table a couple of times and he got knocked out just
before me, probably in 40th place or so. I hope it was him because that makes me
feel even better, that I outlasted him!
The winner, besides the cash prize of $64,272, also won a seat in the Circuit
Event final at Harrah's AC on Dec. 19, which is worth over $5,000.
As far as the "Life of Gambling Riley" goes, Hedy and I both worked a long
time to get to this point in our lives and we're going to enjoy every minute of
our retirement ... while we can. We have two signs hanging up in our house
with sayings that we live by: "Live, love, laugh" and "Today is a gift, that's
why it's called the present."
Another friend of ours who's in his mid-80's also told us, "You gotta keep
movin' or else someone's gonna throw dirt on you."
So, we take advantage of every minute the Big Guy Upstairs has given us and
is the main reason we DON'T STOP.
Regards,
CoachVee (Tom V) & Hedy

---Sounds like a winning trip to me Coach. Did you see any of the -
BIG DOGS- in the tourney? Had you won the tourney would it qualify
you for the WSOP tourney?
This "Life of Gambling Riley" that you and Hedy are enjoying since
your retirement, has me green with envy. Do you guys ever STOP ?
