Big Daddy, Big Stack


Paul's cameraphone captured the smiling image of me as the chip leader in this weekend's game of poker. I went on to win my first No Limit Hold 'Em tournament a few minutes later. The game took place in Blue Springs and afterwards the mayor stopped by to give me a key to the city. After the ensuing parade, I was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. The best part was not having to explain to my wife how I gambled away the money she earned from one of her seven or eight jobs. It was a good day.
