South Florida Gambling
Alan Gould of Plantation sits No. 31 in the World Series of Poker main event. They cut it down to the final table of 10 tonight, I think.
He has 1.8 million chips. The leader has 5.8 million.
Joshua Freeman of Plantation busted out at No. 156 and earned $41,816.
Because of Vegas time, I won't have how Gould did until Monday, but I'll try to give a better update here later.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
