PELEGRIN DRIPS IN SWAG:

Charles Brady's 1st and 2nd place finishes in the
Poker Gras series by winning the Swag Event after an
icm chop. Alan Leffel, Matt White and Robert Pierce
(with yet another cash), also divvied up the loot.
Chad Melerine and Jason "J-Bird" Bergeron cashed
before the chop.
SURVIVOR AND 1:
Linda Keenan, Birol Lermi and Daniel Fagan survived
the field to earn a piece of the 10% prize. The two
short stacks split the other share giving Nick Young
and Edward Copain a return on their buy-in.

disadvantage to win the title vs. Russell Koch.

POKER GRAS RECAP:
BULLDOG BRADY BULLDOZES THE FIELD:
Event One of Poker Gras came down to Charles
"Bulldog" Brady pipping Nick Rodrique for the 30k up
top. Brady quietly hid in the background until he
sprung up for a late run. The event featured 547
players making the prize pool over 130k.
Nick Rodrique winning 19k for second was one of many
locals who dominated the field. Frank Bocage, 13k
for third; Alex Wood, 10k for fourth; JP Kolb, 7.4k
for fifth; and Chris Dupuy, 5.6k for sixth, were
part of a final table that all had short commutes
from South Louisiana to their day two stacks.
Robert Dinger, 7th, Curtis Terry, 8th, and Myles
Terry, 9th, also hailed from Louisiana.
Familiar names like Robert Pierce, Rebekah Crosby,
Hiep Doan, Kevin Oakes, Jaymie Virtusio, Nekoda
Foster, Corey Harrison, Chris Sumrall, Victor
Holcombe, Brandon Gill, Teddy Conner, Todd Skinner,
Clinton Boynes, and PJ Horrigan were a part of the
56 players that cashed
LUJANO ROOKIE CHAMP:
Bryan Lujano won the top prize after the final ten
players in the Rookies event chopped. His big stack
earned him $2,174 while the other nine all added
$1700 to their Hendon Mob totals. Those nine:
Frederick Miller, Zachary Hogan, Travis Lusby,
Robert Lasws, Long Nguyen, Alec Tull, Matthew
Thomas, Brandon Adams, and Raymond Glasser.
Also cashing: Rock Grundmann, Dom Carollo, Richard
Lienhop, Quinn Frenzel and Christian Robbins. This
was the second biggest Rookies event ever hosted by
GCP (the creators of the Rookies event) and if not
for a lack of space it wouldn't have set the record.
LEBLANC AGAIN:
Our ladies champion Judy Leblanc from our recent
Pearl River event got first place in the Turbo event
after an even chop. Familiar ground for her with
fellow ladies Marilyn Charmaine and Davon Hayes also
chopping with bigger stacks. Houth Houn, Kenneth
Pickering and Shannon Collongues also in the split.
ONE FOR FRANCE:
Theo Verut's second Poker Gras cash was the best one
finishing first in the Deep Stack. Steven Daigle,
Prissy Giroir, Edward Staples, Mohammad Dastoori,
and Jonathan Wisbey also made the money.
AZEMAR BEST IN OVER 40:
Louis Azemar of Lafayette, LA won the Over 40
tournament. Daniel Pelegrin of Georgia had to settle
for second place--this time. Ryan Sutherland,
Captain Ronnie Hope, Henry "Skip" Gill, Peter
Konolige, Christopher Hudson, South African Sunil
Devachander, and Trent Marcelle complete the final
table. Andrew Becker, Barton Tullier and Hiep Doan
also made the money.
