Congratulations to Al "The ALternate" for battling Richie (Summer Season Champion) and then Dino (Smoke 'Em II Champion) to take home his first 4SPT Major. In an unprecdented move, Mr. Pick, who had won his opening table, decided to leave the tournament thus forfeiting his place at the Final Table and shot at his first major title. His spot was filled in by the ALternate who finished second to the Pick at Table 2.
We can't thank Zak and Nancy enough for letting us setup shop all day (and night). We really didn't think it would last as long as it did but they were gracious hosts throughout. Not even batting an eye we brought in the camara crew. Thank you.
There will be a game this week, I'll post the info as soon as we secure a location.

Hey guys, I appreciate it...can't really think of a tougher final two guys to have to get through. A true major, indeed.
