Palm Beach Kennel Club results, Day Four
Nicholas Delio of Los Angeles won the Day 4 tournament of the Palm Beach Kennel Club Poker Classic, a rebuy tournament.
The tournament drew 184 players, and he won $4,020.
Meanwhile, in the player of the year standings, John Kleywegt picked up points Thursday, solidifiying his lead. He tied for 11th Thursday.
Delio's win vaulted him to fourth. But truthfully, the real game is this weekend, with the bigger tournaments. So it's still anybody's race for Player of the Year.

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.
