South Florida Gambling
Ante Up Magazine took the time to troll through all the results, and has them. (I'd like to have done it, but in this case, I'll just thank them and move on to the next story.)
In addition to Amir Lehavot from Weston, the chip leader, two other South Floridians are in the top 100: Kevin Schaffel of Coral Springs at No. 40; and Matthew Waxman of Parkland at No. 72.

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.
