A message from the First Lady
I think one of the reasons Jeff and I work so well together is that our personalities seem to balance each other out; he's quiet and humble, I'm loud and constantly self-promoting (have you seen that fabulous website, JennChantal.com, by the way?).
Yes, he'll write recaps for each of your wins, spend hours researching poker rules to make our game run efficiently, and even spread the word about your personal poker-related accomplishments so you can bask in congratulatory comments from the Tour. Yet, he'd NEVER use this website to share the fabulous news that he's been hired by the WORLD POKER TOUR! But I would...and since I won't be there on Thursday night to personally share the news, I thought I'd take this opportunity to hack into his website and tell you now.
I'm sure none of you are surprised that the finest poker corporation in the world would hire him. It's probably more impressive that he HASN'T been working in poker this whole time! Obviously, I'm incredibly excited for him and totally proud.
I'm sure you all are as well, so definitely let him know!

Congratulations again my brother. I know you will do an outstanding job. And I can't wait to hear all the good stories you are going to have as well. Cheers!

As Mike Sexton might so elloquently put it, "Bingo, Bango, Bongo!"
If I could buy stock in the WPT, I definitely would today...it is gonna go up! That is the best decision that they could have made! Congratulations, Jeff! They are lucky to have you.

Congratulations, Jeff! Now you can help me advance my career as one of those girls who dumps money on the table when it's down to the final two.
