William Michael Beasley wins Hard Rock tourney

By Nick Sortal July 20, 2009 02:56 PM

William Michael Beasley of Hollywood won the Heavyweight Division of the Main Event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Sunday.

There were 118 entries in the $1,100 event. Beasley took home $38,940.

In case you were wondering, or Googling basketball players' names, William Michael Beasley is not with the Miami Heat. I have attached his picture as proof (this guy doesn't have the tattoos).

Leonard St. Germain Jr. of Southwest Ranches won the "Cruiserweight Division" Thursday. The $575 tournament drew 74 entries and he earned $12,950.

Steven Wolansky of Cooper City won $9,385 last Monday in the Middleweight Division, which drew 92 entries.

About the author

Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

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.
