The tournament drew fans from All in Free Poker's bars, and the custom of wearing "home bar" shirts continues to grow. Roy's in Margate, The Inn Field Pub in Sunrise, The Duck Tavern in Boca Raton and Ye Olde Falcon Pub in Davie were among those with contingents.

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.
