Wally wins with AK, and celebrates Obama's birthday simultaneously!

Wally Lang wins the Freeroll Atlanta summer tournament!

Congratulations to Wally Lang!  He beat Tom White with his AK to take down the whole tournament.  Wally eliminated 3 players.  Wally will be heading to Biloxi, Mississippi soon for two nights at the Beau Rivage and a chance to win some real cash in a tournament!

Out of the 4o people who qualified, 36 showed up.  The battle was hard fought until 12:40am.  Our returning champion from last season, Dave Matysiak, ironically was the first person out of the tournament.

KJ hit a straight flush.  Doug Park and Mike Odier tied with the amount of KOs at the tournament – both with 5.

Tom White took 2nd.
Doug Park took 3rd.
Mike Odier, our June $100 winner, took 4th.
Nathan Bowhall, the man who started poker at the Vortex, came in 5th place.

Nick E, our July $100 winner, placed 6th.  Z Gillespie got 7th, and Bob the Builder got 8th.
