Dania Jai-Alai: Le Batard tourney, Borgata trip promotion
Another Dan Le Batard Celebrity Poker Tournament is set for 8 p.m. Wednesday at Dania Jai-
Alai. The tournament, enhanced by merriment from Le Batard's 790 The Ticket radio show staff, costs $50.
Meanwhile, the fronton is giving away airfare for two to the Borgata in Atlantic City, two nights of hotel and $1,000 in chips in April. It works like this:
1.) Players sign up for their "Play Your Way" card, which logs players non-tournament time.
2.) For each 10 hours spent playing in April, the fronton gives you a drawing entry.
3.) The fronton will draw a name for the trip.
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.
