Another night of poker at Dania Jai-Alai

Pembroke Pines resident Elizabeth McKinney flopped a full house of fives full of sevens to take the biggest pot of the night and the trophy at the third Dan Le Batard Celebrity Poker Tournament at Dania Jai-Alai Thursday night.

The fronton reported almost 300 participants, including "the world’s greatest American jai-alai player," Joey Cornblit. (I couldn't make it, so this is their report.)

“I was so nervous after I won that pot that my hands were shaking,” said she told Dania officials, as she posed for a post-tournament picture with 790 The Ticket’s host Dan Le Batard, whose name I am happy to spell correctly for once.

She chopped the pot with nine other players at the final table. They all got $1,077.

The card room is open Sundays through Thursdays from noon to midnight, Friday and Saturdays from noon to 3 am (or later). It's at 301 E. Dania Beach Blvd in Dania Beach.
